After dinner, he used to read books? If I'm right with all the following examples, please let me know.
1. After dinner, he used to read books.(general idea of book-reading, the number of books can't be known and doesn't matter here)
2. After dinner, he used to read a book.(reading one unspecific book)
3. After dinner, he used to read some(or many) books.(multiple books)
I just want to know the fundamental difference between "read books" and "read a book" as in Korean "read books" has the nuance of reading multiple books, which I guess is not true in English.
