When someone reads only the parts they want to, and completely ignores the rest, usually because they're too lazy or stupid to get the whole point. It's like picking the easiest parts of a math test and ignoring the hard questions.
'I just read the part where they said pizza was involved, the rest is nonsense.'
'They said 'I love you' so I read that part and skipped the part where they said they were going to break up.'
'I read the part where he said 'I'm rich' but missed the part where he said 'I'm bankrupt.'
