Reading a book or poem so carefully (while constantly referencing the OED), that you suddenly discover something "new and special" about one word in the poem. This word then magically allows you to write three paragraphs about its "new and special meaning." All the while during this "close reading," you will be contemplating suicide as your face, body, and mental thought process will hurt with the agony of forced close analysis.
Bob: I've got a twenty seven page paper due tomorrow on a four line poem.
Chris: Man you better do a close reading of that poem.

On Whatsapp, When you read messages on your Home Screen as they come in instead of going into the chat where chatmates can see if you read their messages or not.
You: Yo David, how did you know Andrew wanted backend access to the website? I didn’t see you read the chat.
David: I didn’t go into the chat but I did a screen read so I knew what was happening without going into the chat.
The act of reading/predicting a situation and preparing to act accordingly.
Sick reads bro!
Extensively highlighting and writing all over a packet or book. Typically mandated by high school teachers. Commonly used as torture by teachers at the Cleveland High School CORE program in order to ensure the diminished social lives of their students. Never checked by teachers but required. Easy to copy from another student. BIGGEST PAIN IN THE ASS!
Student A: Hey man did you do your active reading?
Student B: No man, fuck that shit. i dont want to highlight anymore!
Teacher: Ok students now im collecting your active reading. Pass it up
Student B: DAMN IT!
Student A: Quick just highlight Anything

a book that is read usually to kill time . usually no or a thin plot, simple/static characters or even cliched heros/heroines. in a broader sense, a wildly popular but poor book.

The term "reading the bible" refers to any situation that is bad, illegal, or just naughty like sex or drugs.
You and your friends are smoking pot in your room. Your mom knocks on the door and asks what your doing in there. You respond "reading the bible!"
You and your friend are talking in study hall and you are asked "So what did you and Joe do last night?" you respond "oh, ya know, we um... read the bible out loud to eachother." When really you fucked like bunnies.
