[Publib] Is it called biblio-interruptus?

[Nann Blaine Hilyard]

But is it the book that is interrupted, or the reader?

While I haven't taken formal Latin studies (yet), a quick shuffle of my
"Latin for the Illiterati" flash cards leads me to favor "libris
interruptus".... if the reading were indeed of book format.

But personally, I kinda like the "life" answer!
