I disagree. To ask someone to read your lips is literally giving an 
instruction. "Read" as in "read".

Anyway - it's much safer reading someone's lips, rather than a book. Have you 
never suffered a paper cut?  We're working on banning books (and obviously all 
paper items) this side of the Pond. It's part of our "prevent" rather than 
"cure" rationale. It'll save the NHS millions.
