Carter Lee"I want to ask someone what kind of the book read?"Is this correct?

Incorrect. I'm not sure what you mean.

Carter LeeWhat do you read about?

This a correct question, but I have no idea if it expresses what you intended your first sentence to express.

Carter LeeWhat about do you read?

No.

Hi Carter,

I'm going to start with your first line: "I willing to expression like of the following."

First, I think you want to say "I want" instead of "I willing". To say "I am (you need the word am) willing" is usually for something that someone else wants you to do, and you don't mind doing it, or at least you decide to to it for them. If you want to do something for your own reasons, just say "I want to".

Next, change "expression" to "express" (you need to use the verb form) and you can say "I want to express something like the following."

(Or if you want to use the word expression, you could say "I want to write an expression like the following."

Ok, finally to address your question:

"I want to ask someone what kind of the book read?"

First, since you start with "I want to", that is a statement, not a question, so use a period, not a question mark. Second, get rid of "the". Finally, are you looking for advice? Do you want to decide what you will read? Then say "I want to ask someone what kind of book to read." Or if you want to know what they are reading, say "I want to ask someone what kind of book they are reading."

Of your last two lines, the first is better than the second, but be careful:

"What do you read about?" is a general question asking them over the course of time, what kind of book they typically read. If you want to know what they are reading right now, then change it to "What are you reading about?"
