Line 37:
== [[Literature]] ==
* The titular character of ''[[Arthur (animation)|Arthur]]'' was a Book Worm to a tee ([[Nerd Glasses|He even wears glasses!]]), but pretty much all of the kids loved to read. Not only is the show [[Anvilicious]] about it, they also don't seem to recognize the hypocrisy.
* Sophie from ''Child of the Hive'' spends a good portion of her time reading and, when not reading, tends to compare herself to characters from literature.
* Hermione Granger from ''[[Harry Potter (novel)|Harry Potter]]''.
* Jo of ''[[Little Women]]''
Line 44:
* Mr. Bennet, Elizabeth Bennet, and Mary Bennett of ''[[Pride and Prejudice]]''
* Klaus in ''[[A Series of Unfortunate Events]]'' loves to read.
** Not just to read, but to ''research'', which often comes in handy because his [[Encyclopaedic Knowledge]], combined with Violet's ability to improvise inventions and Sunny's teeth, allows them to escape from Count Olaf's clutches.
* The Bookworms in ''The War Between the Pitiful Teachers and the Splendid Kids'' (and the sequel, ''Skinny Malinky Leads the War for Kidness'').
* Nita from [[Young Wizards]]. It's apparently very common for wizards.
Line 63:
== [[Real Life]] ==
* [[Oprah Winfrey]] was like this when she was young. She actually taught ''herself'' to read when she was two or three. (Something that is uncommon but not ''unheard'' of.)
* ''Us.'' After all, [[Most Tropers Are Young Nerds]].
* [[David Bowie]] regularly travelled with at least a trunk full of books in [[The Seventies]] and once presented a list of recommendations at his official website, taken from what he'd then-recently read/re-read. The list contained 51 titles!
== [[Theatre]] ==
Line 70:
== [[Video Games]] ==
* Canas in ''[[Fire Emblem]] Rekka'', who is shown reading books that aren't dark magics on the battlefield. He's even surprised when Nino says she doesn't know how to read yet is practicing magic. (And is potentially [[Magikarp Power|one of the most powerful spellcasters next to Athos if not THE most powerful]] if one invests time into developing her.)
* Any ''[[Harvest Moon]]'' girl who hangs out at a library will inevitably be one of these.
* Mitsuru Kirijo from ''[[Persona 3]]'' is rarely seen without a book in hand when in the common room.
Line 89:
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* [[The Simpsons|Lisa Simpson]].
* In an episode of the Czech animated series ''[[Staflik A Spagetka]]'', one of the dog protagonists is made into this by a particularly fascinating book, filling the trope to a T.
* Raven of ''[[Teen Titans (animation)|Teen Titans]]''. The books she likes to read are probably ancient tomes filled to the brim with powerful magic spells that could [[Badass Bookworm|make her even more devastating in battle]], but she still loses her patience when no one will leave her alone to finish the story of a wizard's battle with a dragon...
* Twilight Sparkle from ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]''. Bonus points for actually living in a library.
