Leave off the () when calling the function, its only meant for when you're declaring it, and is optional even then.
read does not work that way. read NAME does not read from the file NAME, it reads into the variable $NAME. It usually reads from standard input, redirection is used if you want to change that. You'd want to do this:

DESCRIPTION
Read documentation in Info format.
OPTIONS --apropos=STRING

-d, --directory=DIR
add DIR to INFOPATH.
--dribble=FILENAME
remember user keystrokes in FILENAME.
-f, --file=FILENAME
specify Info file to visit.
-h, --help
display this help and exit.
--index-search=STRING
go to node pointed by index entry STRING.
-n, --node=NODENAME
specify nodes in first visited Info file.
-o, --output=FILENAME
output selected nodes to FILENAME.
-R, --raw-escapes

not present, info merges all `dir' files and shows the result. Any remaining arguments are treated as the names of menu items relative to
the initial node visited.

info --show-options emacs
