Everyone on this board loves to read, as do I.
However, it is time consuming.
Is it possible to appreciate a book (usually a novel) without reading it in its entirety?
That being said, imo you can but it's like experiencing the Eiffel Tower. You can appreciate it in photos but it's never the same as visiting it for yourself.

For novels, it may be possible if they are behemoths and extremely long, otherwise if you appreciated it you'd just finish it. I usually appreciate lots of handbooks, anthologies, histories and other similarly formatted books without reading them cover to cover.
