Benny,

What’s the difference between “读书” and “看书”

Are those 2 both mean “reading”?

A good question, kan shu 看书 means litteraly to look at a book du shu 读书to study it (I f you look at the character du 读 you see it excist out of th character of words and the character mai 卖 to buy, so you buy words in other words you study ….).
Maybe kan shu 看书 means to read as to read a novel and du shu 读书 to study …

Hope Benny will have the answer …

万事如意
