I will hit the book
Hi,
When someone says "I'll hit the book" like the following example in the dialogue, does it mean s/he will read some books? Is it an idiom? If so, do you often use the idiom like "it's none of your business"? I hope it doesn't mean I will knock out some living creature called "books".
[Example]
Alice: But don't you want to go to the cinema too?
Helen: Yes but I need to study. I'll do the shirts, phone the landlord about keeping the cat and then I'll hit the books.
...
Thanks in advance.
