"We read a little of the book."

Translation: Εμείς διαβάζουμε λίγο από το βιβλίο.

How about "Εμείς διαβάζουμε λίγο του βιβλίου"?

[troll1995]

Λίγο is not followed by genitive. Without the definite article it is followed by accusative and with the definite article is followed by απο+accusative. So, θέλω λίγο κρασί=I want a bit of wine, Θέλω λίγο από το ψωμί=I want a little of the bread.
