What does 'poke through' mean?
Well I got this Japanese phrase book for my birthday about six months ago, and I started poking through it last week.

Question

Answer

Poke through means to break through the surface.  The sun can "poke through" the clouds.   If you 'poke through' your book, to me, it means that you just opened it and are looking at some of the pages, not really reading it thoroughly.
