oh, good, I was right. I was worried I had answered on your behalf and been totally wrong for a minute there. XD

Where I live, usually people would say "working through," because "working on" does imply that you are creating/writing/building/etc whatever the "something" in question is. But while the intended interpretation might be unclear to some, it's not an incorrect use of the phrase.

What region are you from, if I may ask?

SE Texas. "Working through" also makes sense to me, but that's not a phrase I would use. It's either "working on" or I'd specifically say "I'm reading..." But, since the OP asked what we'd read, I used the general "working on."

I'm curious if this is regional usage for Texas (SE or otherwise) or something I picked up from my parents (who were partially raised in other states).

Well, it's not a way I've ever heard the phrase used in Alabama (or anywhere else), and I'm just going to go out on a limb and say you probably just picked it up from your parents. I've picked up a lot of random phrases from my parents, and as a result I've confused soooo many people, lol.

I'm originally from Texas (DFW area), and I'd say "working through" for reading, and save "working on" for something I was creating. I suspect tyger66 is right, and you picked it up from your parents or somewhere else.

(Now watch, another Texan will comment saying they use that phrase the way you do all the time.)
