Descriptive reading is when the author uses great detail in describing his/her characters and setting. A good example of this style of writing is Sir Walter Scott. Try his novel IVANHOE for a source. This style can be tedious; however, the author is like an artist painting a scene and leaving out no detail.
I hope this helps.

That usually it's not worth the effort of reading. I don't mind having a rough stage set for me...and if it's important for the character to be examining something in detail, great, but I could care less what color cravat Random Guy on the Street is wearing.
If I figure out a writer is over-descriptive, I start skimming anything that isn't action or dialogue. Maybe trying to pay attention to colors and symbols but mostly skipping description.
