Bookworm has bizarre red ear (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reader

'bookworm' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'bizarre red ear' is the wordplay.
'bizarre' indicates anagramming the letters.
'red'+'ear'='redear'
'redear' with letters rearranged gives 'READER'.

'has' is the link.

(Other definitions for reader that I've seen before include "University academic" , "Peruser of texts" , "Person addressed by author" , "Peruser, of books perhaps" , "Text book -- red ear (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
