Book

The word that shows up in a text when the texter, using T9, attempts to write "cool" but fails to press shift.
You: "I'm coming by your place later"
Them: "Okay. Book"
Them: "Oops I mean cool"

basal book

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.

Book rotting

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.
