Close Reading

When you heavily analyze someone’s Instagram post or general personal information to figure out who they are as a person/ what is going on.

Very similar to stalking but with an intellectual and analytical twist.

Like criminal minds- but taking it too far.

Friend 1 - Did you see Sam’s Instagram post?

Friend 2 - Yeah I did. It was so chaotic that I had to do a full close reading last night.

Friend 1- Did you hear that Ariana and Finn got back together again?

Friend 2- Wait what!? We need to close read this situation later so we can fully understand what is going on.

spark-read

rather than legitimately read the assigned novel, you read the sparknotes instead.

Because Frankenstein is a shitty book, i decided to spark-read it to save time.

Stutter-Reading

The act of trying to read your morning newspaper on a bumpy train or commuter bus.

I tried to read my morning newspaper but the train was so bumpy I could only focus on every other word - I was stutter-reading.

read about it

To look into something. To show someone something or make a point

Boy 2: Oh really ?
Boy 1: Yea my dude read about it!

Bed-Reading

The action of placing a book in your right hand, running full speed at your bed, jumping precisely five feet away from the mattress, completing a one hundred and eighty degree spin while simultaneously crossing the book between your legs. You then land on your back with the book open and proceed to read your story of choice.

Bed-Reading is an extreme sport, only for the elite.
