In literature, the term "peruse" is employed with a remarkable versatility, sometimes denoting a meticulous, almost scholarly examination and at other times suggesting a more relaxed, leisurely reading. Authors might invoke it to highlight how a character studies an obscure letter or document with deliberate care, as when a character turns over a card to peruse a partially obliterated address [1] or reads a book with careful scrutiny before settling its meaning [2]. In contrast, there are instances where the act of perusing carries a casual invitation to inspect or contemplate a text, as in the gentle urging to peruse a passage to unravel its hidden details [3] or to re-read a beloved manuscript [4]. This dual orientation—combining both the precision of close reading and the ease of reflective engagement—reveals the enduring appeal of the term in conveying the deep, layered experience of reading that transcends simple observation [5], [6].
