What the Phrase Means
The phrase "I closed my book to be here" is a popular, lighthearted expression of presence, often with a hint of good-natured sarcasm. It implies that while the speaker enjoys reading and might prefer to be immersed in a story, they are choosing to be present for the current activity or company.
It's a way to acknowledge a sacrifice (of reading time) while also affirming the value of the 'here and now' – or at least humorously pointing out the effort involved.
