>Mr. Elphinstone talked of a new book that was much admired, and asked Dr. Johnson if he had read it. JOHNSON. “I have looked into it.” “What (said Elphinstone), have you not read it through?” — Johnson, offended at being thus pressed, and so obliged to own his own cursory mode of reading, answered tartly, “No, Sir; do you read books through?”

Do you read every book all the way through? Do you read more than one book at a time?
