That's not correct. Finnish way of saying is "lukutoukka" which translates roughly to "maggot who reads". "Luku" is also "chapter" but that doesn't work here.
There is also a somewhat similar expression in German, where an avid reader is compared to another animal: Leseratte, literally “reading rat”. In Finland, there is also a word called kirjatoukka, which corresponds to, for example, the English bookworm.
The Finnish word lukutoukka describes a person who is eager to read. The initial part of the compound word luku is a derivative of the verb lukea, and in this case lukea does indeed refer to reading and not to a chapter in a book.
