When one lives in a foreign country with a limited supply of books to read, and then is able to find more English books, thus ameliorating fears of running out of books to read. Oftentimes this is accompanied by a feeling of guilt of the pervasiveness of globalization.

Thankfully I found that copy of Pride and Prejudice, it gave me book insurance.

Book wanker

A term used by persons who are refreshingly unspoiled by conventional education to describe literate individuals.

Beggar approaches person reading book On a public bench.

Beggar: Can you spare any change so I can buy some food.
Book Wanker: Here’s a sandwich and a public transport ticket
Beggar: How am I supposed to buy heroin with that, you Book Wanker?

In this case the illiterate beggar used the only insult he had in his very short lexicon.
