The Rebel, episode 1:
但是他在世的时候一直舍不得穿

Interestingly, in the episode 9 scenes where Lin Nansheng and Zhu Yizhen discuss the books they're reading, they use 看 not 读.

[grayswandir]

I haven't seen The Rebel yet (I keep meaning to!), but from what I understand, I think 看书 is the typical term for reading books, and 读书 is more like "to study" (or "to be in school")? Like, "reading" in a more academic or purposeful way? I tried googling for a better description or reference, but answers from both advanced learners and native speakers seem to be all over the place, with some people saying that 读书 = "studying/being a student," and other people saying 读书 is more formal but can still mean "to read books" just the same as 看书. I feel like whenever I've heard 读书 it's been about studying, though...

看书 is the typical term for reading books, and 读书 is more like "to study"
Yes, that sounds likely, thanks for pointing it out. I know I've seen 看书 quite a bit more often. (I have some resistance to it because I'm so used to 读书, or rather 読書, to mean just "reading books" from Japanese. Shifting connotations, sigh)

[presumenothing]

Yeah, while I wouldn't say that 读书 only ever means studying, that's also the meaning I'd probably assume 99% of the time unless context indicates otherwise. Colloquially there's also expressions like 读书人 or 不是读书的料 which pretty much have Scholarly Endeavours™ baked in by implication, and 看 definitely does not work in these cases.

[nnozomi]

I was just reading about a prewar writer who began his character self-conscious because he was a kid from the countryside, not a 读书人, quote unquote.

[nnozomi]

但是他在世的时候一直舍不得穿
I looked up 舍不得 which was a new one for me! Neat.

they use 看 not 读
Definitely seen this also, although as noted in another comment below 读书 comes more naturally to me...

[presumenothing]

人累的时候，哪怕是天下最有趣的书也是会读不进脑子里去。这就是所谓的no thoughts head empty（废话连篇）

[nnozomi]

我累的时候，不会了读（？）日语，只会看英语。劳累おそるべし.

这就是所谓的no thoughts head empty
I always want to make that phrase into pseudo-Chinese...无想头空...

你辛苦了！

[presumenothing]

我也是累了就看不懂日语……甚至连英语语法都会乱成一团糟 (well, even more 乱 than usual, that is)

(also, in absence of anything better I can think of right now, I propose 海阔头空 as a pun off 海阔天空)

[trobadora]

I propose 海阔头空 as a pun off 海阔天空

Oh, I like! Puns FTW! :D

[nnozomi]

海阔头空！干得太好！
