The act of reading literature.
Contexto cultural
The tradition of 'Påskekrim' means reading crime novels is almost mandatory during Easter break. Public libraries (folkebibliotek) are free and very popular, often serving as the 'living room' of the town. Norwegians value 'ro og fred' (peace and quiet), and reading a book is the ultimate way to achieve this. The 'Boklov' (Book Law) in Norway helps maintain fixed prices for new books to support authors and bookstores.
Use 'sitter og'
To sound more native, say 'Jeg sitter og leser en bok' instead of just 'Jeg leser en bok'.

Don't forget the 'en'. 'Jeg leser bok' sounds like 'I read book' in English.
