I pretend to read a book, elaborate a summary and sell the summary to the public, I even pretend to make public presentations on the summary. Is this legal or I will have copyright or other legal problems?

You "pretend" to read the book, and then tell people what it's about? That's fraudulent. And I don't think it's a great money-making scheme anyway, if that's what you're thinking. Who cares what you think?

Depending on the state you live in it would be major fraud. This is ridiculous.
