    ToExpression /@ ReadList[Word] should do it.

If you want maintain the structure of the file, the easiest thing to do
is use Partition after you've finished reading.   If the file may have
a different number of entries on each line, then you can't afford to lost
the structure in the first place.  In that case you can do this:

    Map[ToExpression, ReadList[Word, RecordLists->True], {2}]
