Worth reading vs Worth read

Both 'worth reading' and 'worth read' are correct, but they are used in different contexts. 'Worth reading' is the more common and idiomatic phrase, used to describe something that is valuable or beneficial to read. On the other hand, 'worth read' is less common and may sound awkward to native speakers. It is better to use 'worth reading' for clarity and naturalness.
