When people only read one part of a larger text, and completely miss the point. This happens a lot in many contexts. Some people even use parts of bible passages to do things that aren't actually good if they were to read the complete passage.
You've completely misunderstood my letter because you didn't read the whole thing through! You're reading the bible!

Get the reading the bible mug.A lifeless suburban upper-middle class town 10 minutes outside of Boston full of snobby parents and teenage stoners everywhere who drive around and listen to dave matthews all day. Weekends are full of random houses and woods to booze in for fun and lots of cops who have nothing better to do but catch you.
"yo, i'm from reading, lets go on a blunt cruise and hit up jordans furniture for ice cream after, sound chill?"

Many suburban preps try to act like they reppin the true 610. But they wack ass don't want 2 step in the hood.Cause they afraid ta gets shot XD.
The place got malls b-ball courts and a taste for hiphop, reggaeton, and mostly crime. Known by many, Hated by all.

Get the yellow brick roading it mug.Home of emos, punks,goths, and lots (and I mean LOTS) of stoner grunge kids. Bad shopping,no music scene,basically the suburban version of London.
Also,lots of snobby rich kids who are *down* with grindie and worsip Alex Turner,even though they've never set foot on a council estate in their lives.
Strangely chav free town.Rumours persist they were hunted down and burned in a 1800s' style way.

Reading:Suburbia in denial.
"Wow,look at that seven year old kid smoking pot and rocking out to Velvet Underground CDs! He's a PRO,man!"
"Let's go to Reading!"
"Meh..."

Get the Reading mug.When you have no intention of reading someone's bullshit. So you scan read and only pick out what is relevant to you.
JamsBeam: "I'm going to write a name with my right hand and I'll eat a chip with my left hand"
Me:"are you having a Ketos session Bro?"
JamsBeam:"How does your mind completely erase the word write and replace it with masturbating?"
Me:"it's called selective reading"

Get the selective reading mug.One of several innocent-sounding responses which can be used by regular porn viewers when their parents/spouse(s) ask them what they're doing on the computer.
Mom: What're you doing?
Juan: Reading my email.
Mom: Oh cool. Can I read mine too?
Dad: Uh no honey, come back later...this is an important email. We'll be done in about an hour.
