It honestly depends on how well written it is or how much I like the story. Usually, I do, but if a story can't allow me to transport my mind to whatever imaginary world it's trying to create, then I won't read it.
I'm odd though. Sometimes during a particularly compelling scene in a story, I'll even stop and sit there imagining what's going on without reading further (basically, imagining what I already read). In some cases it helps me visualize and enjoy the book better than just plain plowing through it, even to the point of pausing for a minute to mentally generate what the characters look like.
