if I haven't read an undergrad textbook in a subject, I'm definitely unqualified to say what that subject does and does not contain.

Admirable. Please consider including "successfully finished most of the exercises" in the definition of "read".

I tend to do enough of the exercises to satisfy myself that I understand the concepts behind them. The exact amount varies from subject to subject.
