زمینه فرهنگی
In Korea, there is a concept called 'Mun-bang-sa-woo' (The Four Friends of the Study), showing deep respect for writing tools and books. 'Drinking' a book reflects this intimate relationship between the scholar and their texts. With the rise of Webtoons and Web-novels, 'drinking' content has become a literal daily activity for many Koreans during their commute. The term 'Sun-sak' (instant deletion) is often used alongside 'drinking' to describe fast consumption. The metaphor of 'consuming' books is universal, but the choice of 'liquid' (drinking) vs 'solid' (eating) varies. Korean's choice of 'drinking' highlights the emotional 'thirst' for stories. The pressure to read many books for university entrance (the 'Reading Record') sometimes turns 'drinking books' from a joy into a necessity, leading to a culture of high-speed reading.
Use with '-아/어 버리다'
To sound like a native, say '마셔버렸어요' (I ended up drinking it all). It adds a nuance of 'I couldn't help myself because it was so good!'
Not for Textbooks
If you say you 'drank' your math book, people will think you just skimmed it and didn't actually learn the formulas.

What It Means
This phrase isn't about literally drinking a book, which would be… messy. It's a vivid metaphor for reading with extreme speed and focus. You're not just reading; you're consuming the story, gulping down words and emotions. Think of it as a book hangover, but the good kind where you just finished an amazing adventure. It conveys a sense of urgency and deep engagement. You feel a thirst for the story, and reading 책을 마시다 is how you quench it.
How To Use It
Use this when you've been glued to a book, reading non-stop. It’s perfect for describing binge-reading sessions. You might say this after finishing a novel in one sitting. It works when the plot is so gripping, you can't pause. You’re totally lost in the narrative. It implies a very positive reading experience. You were thirsty for a good story, and this book delivered. It's like finding a hidden oasis in the desert of mediocre reads.
Real-Life Examples
- "I stayed up all night reading. I totally
책을 마셨어!" (I stayed up all night reading. I totally devoured it!) - "This new fantasy novel is amazing. I've been
책을 마시는 중since yesterday." (I've been drinking this new fantasy novel since yesterday.) - "My vacation was mostly spent
책을 마시면서by the beach." (My vacation was mostly spent devouring books by the beach.) - "The ending was so shocking, I just
책을 마셔버렸다without even breathing." (I just gulped down the book without even breathing because the ending was so shocking.)
When To Use It
Use 책을 마시다 when you're describing a truly absorbing reading experience. It's for when a book grabs you and won't let go. Think of a thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Or a romance that makes your heart flutter non-stop. It’s for those moments you forget to eat or sleep because the story is just *that* good. It’s like a Netflix binge, but with pages. You finished it in record time, right?
When NOT To Use It
Don't use 책을 마시다 for slow, thoughtful reading. If you savor each sentence, taking notes, this phrase won't fit. It’s not for academic texts you’re studying slowly. Casual browsing or skimming doesn't count either. If you read a chapter a week, you’re not drinking it! This phrase implies speed and intensity. It’s also not for reviewing a book critically. You're too engrossed to analyze it deeply. Save it for when the story sweeps you away, not when you're dissecting it.
Common Mistakes
Learners often try to use 책을 먹다 (to eat a book). While 먹다 also means to consume, it doesn't carry the same sense of rapid, almost desperate absorption. Drinking implies a liquid flow, fitting the idea of a story pouring into you. Eating feels more solid and deliberate. Another mistake is using 읽다 (to read) when you mean 책을 마시다. 읽다 is neutral; 책을 마시다 is intense!
책을 먹었어요
✓책을 마셨어요
나는 책을 빨리 읽었어요
✓나는 책을 마셨어요
Similar Expressions
정독하다(jeongdokada): To read carefully and thoroughly. This is the opposite of책을 마시다. It’s like sipping fine wine, not chugging water.밤새 읽다(bamsae ikda): To read all night long. This describes the *time* spent reading, but not necessarily the *intensity* or *speed*.푹 빠지다(puk ppajida): To fall deeply into something. You can fall deeply into a book, but this is broader than just reading.
Common Variations
The verb ending changes based on tense and politeness. 책을 마셨어요 (past tense, polite informal) is very common. 책을 마실 거야 (future tense, polite informal) works for plans. For casual chats with close friends, you might hear 책 마셨어? (Did you devour the book?). Sometimes, the particle 을/를 is dropped in very casual speech, making it 책 마시다, but this is less common and sounds a bit clipped.
Memory Trick
Picture yourself thirsty (마시다 = to drink) for a great story. The book is like a cool drink (책 = book) that you gulp down quickly. Imagine a giant straw sucking the entire story into your brain! It’s a drink of knowledge and adventure. You're not nibbling; you're drinking it down fast!
Quick FAQ
- Is it always about speed? Yes, speed and intensity are key. You're consuming it rapidly.
- Can I use it for audiobooks? While you're absorbing it quickly, the visual metaphor of 'drinking' fits reading better. Stick to 'listening intently' for audiobooks.
- Does it imply enjoyment? Absolutely! You usually
책을 마시다because the book is incredibly engaging and enjoyable.

سوالات متداول
10 سوالYes, it's a very common metaphorical collocation used by people who love reading to describe a great book.
Not usually. For movies, we say '영화에 빠지다' (fall into a movie) or '순삭했다' (it was over in an instant). 'Drinking' is specifically tied to the act of reading text.
'속독' is a technical skill (speed reading). '책을 마시다' is an emotional state of being captivated by a book.
No, it's not rude! It shows you are passionate about the book they recommended. Just use the polite form: '마시듯이 읽었습니다.'
It's rare. Newspapers are for information, not usually for 'immersion.' Stick to books, novels, or long essays.
On the contrary! It usually implies you were so in tune with the book that you absorbed it perfectly.
You can say '이 {책|冊}을 마셔버리고 싶어요!'
Not really. If you read too fast and don't understand, we say '수박 겉 핥기' (licking the outside of a watermelon).
It's starting to be used that way, but '귀로 마시다' (drinking with ears) is a more specific (and poetic) variation.
Drinking suggests a smooth, continuous flow, which matches the feeling of reading a well-written story.
