Something you aren't reading since you're looking at this definition and killing time on urban dictionary

You: (on urban dictionary) huh?

A piece of your soul. Something that can break you and crush you, but can also make your life. Life's way of entertainment. The building block of otp fangirls anything book related. My life.
Me:Have you read any good books lately?
Friend: What are books?
Me:How are we friends

to travel at high speed or hurry the fuck up
Omar: "What are you doing?"
Gary: "Oh not too much, just trying to defuse this bomb before it blows up and kills thousands of people. You know."
Omar: "Well you'd better book it. There are only 30 seconds left on the timer."
Gary: "What? Oh yeah, I guess you're right. Well I'd better hurry the fuck up then."

A Book is like .. a non-volatile, stable database that does not lose data no matter how many times you drop it, spill your beer on it, or close it incorrectly. Books are more stable even than Optical Media. Storage is only limited by the amount of space and volume that the owner can physically carry. Some storage units seem to last for years, and whilst the background colour or 'fill' of the pages may degrade to a kind of #F5F5DC beige, the actual data is still readily retrievable.
Books were used for storage before computers. The only reason computers were invented was due to the poor fire retardant properties of the base materials used in the manufacture of books (especially those books used to upset the tribal elders of religious groups) and because books were easy to steal data from. Books have also been used to store ideas for Movies That No-one Has Made Yet.

To leave quickly.
Derived from 70's college slang when you had to leave a party to study.
I'd like to stay and drink some more beer, but there's a chemistry test tomorrow and I have to book it.
