What do you call someone who hates books?

There isn't a widely accepted single word for someone who hates books.

However, here are some options, depending on the nuance you want to convey:

Formal/Humorous:

* Bibliophobe: This literally means "fear of books," but it can be used humorously to describe someone who dislikes them.

* Anti-bibliophile: This is a direct contrast to a bibliophile (lover of books).

* Book-hater: This is the most straightforward and blunt term.

Informal/Descriptive:

* Non-reader: This simply means someone who doesn't read, which could be due to dislike or other reasons.

* Book-averse: This suggests a strong dislike or aversion to books.

* Someone who prefers other forms of entertainment: This is a more neutral way to describe someone who doesn't enjoy reading.

Ultimately, the best term depends on the context and the tone you want to convey.
