Somebody who studies all day, similar to a nerd but it arrives to a point that they “swallow books”.

A "basal book" is one that is absolutely crucial to a particular academic discipline or profession, a book that everyone who knows anything knows about. It is a book (or perhaps an article) that forms the basis for understanding a certain topic or joining a certain conversation. It is often the sort of book that everyone wants to have read but no one wants to read. It is always the sort of book or article that cannot be digested properly by reading it all the way through just once, but must be studied and digested (analytical reading helps with this).
Greg Glassman's article "What is Fitness?" is a basal article for the Crossfit movement.
Rachel Carson's "Silent Spring" is a basal book for the environmentalist movement.
"Mein Kampf" is a basal book for the Nazi movement.

The act of being so engrossed in a book , that you forget the outside world and read for hours or days in a comfortable position , mostly a bed . This mostly happens when the book you are reading is very good so you can't put it down or you are reading a series of books and you can't stop till you finish all the books in the series.

the book of mormon is a mormon scripture claiming to be documents of jesus christ visiting the americas. the only branch of christianity to use the book of mormon as scripture is mormonism or “the church of jesus christ of latter-day saints.”
despite a fair amount of archaeological evidence that may support events occurring in the bible, there is no archaeological evidence of any event in the book of mormon. this is substantial because of the descriptions of large cities and huge battles in the book of mormon– any events of such magnitude would leave a very clear impression upon the land. of which evidence there is none backed by real scholars, in contrast to some archaeological sites matching descriptions in the bible, of which some events are accepted by both christian and non-christian scholars.
as well as lack of archaeological evidence, theres a stark lack of any DNA evidence to support the basic premise of the book of mormon. the book of mormon claims that indigenous people of the americas came from the middle east by way of boat. following this, as technology improved, scientists found much closer matches to asia, concluding that indigenous americans came to the americas by traveling over the frozen waters of the bering strait. this is the most widely accepted explanation within the field of science.
while still a piece of scripture to many, there has been no evidence accepted by the scientific community evidence to support these happenings.

Person 1: “Dude, did you know mormons believe native americans came from the middle east?”
Person 2:”What? They can’t possibly believe that, are you sure they really do?
Person 3:”Yeah, man, it says it in the book of mormon and everything!”
