People of the Book

a term used by Muslims to describe adherents of other faiths who worship the same God as they do. Specifically this means people of monotheistic beliefs like Christianity and Judaism.
The Quran says that Christians and Jews are to be respected being that they are people of the book because all three religions share the same deity and the same Abrahamic traditions, such as the Ten Commandments.

Book Depression

After you've finished reading a phenomenal book you feel lost and melancholic. You want the characters, time, places, and the whole lot to keep going forever like a sitcom or a weekly skit. A book that becomes a part of your life, those are the best kind.

Book Alarm

Similar to the common alarm clock it is designed to wake up the recipient; the main difference being that a book is used (as opposed to a shotgun) by a second person and most commonly with a great deal of force. It is similar to a cock slap except that the relevant genitalia is replaced with a large book.
Christoph was asleep in Geography so I used the old book alarm to get him up.
