"Gary, could you hold this string while I tie a knot?" his mother asked him. He was curled up on the couch, reading a comic book.

"Huh? Did you say something, Mom?" Gary looked up at his mother and then back to his book.
"Gary, I asked if you could help me make a knot, but it seems like you are too busy devouring that book!"
Which does Gary's mother mean when she says "you are too busy devouring that book"?
