reading coma

The act of being so engrossed in a book or magazine that you become oblivious to the world around you for hours at a time.

I tried getting in touch with Sam three days ago but every since he started reading that new novel he has stopped communicating.

Sounds like he might be experiencing a reading coma.

read-viewing

A method of viewing complex films (and filmed versions of plays, especially), in order to see and hear the actions of the plot, but also to read what is happening, while the story unfolds.

When teaching students complex plays by Shakespeare or Arthur Miller, an English teacher might employ the method of read-viewing of the play so that students can see what is happening while reading the subtitles/closed captions. Read-viewing engages students in the visual world of the story, which helps to improve comprehension of the literature. Ideally, this method would be used in short increments of 20 to 30 minutes, and then students will discuss and analyze what they have read-viewed.

read and chill

When you are so poor that you can't afford Netflix, internet and neither cable television, so you have to go to the attic, pick something to read with your "friend" for a short time before starting to fuck.

*After pretending to have read something*

Person 1: I don't like the main character, it's very unoriginal
Person 2: Ok... can we just fuck now?
Person 1: I thought we would just read and chill!
