In a sentence

ほん本bookをよむ読むreadのがすき好きlike

I like reading books

How it works

Here の (that act) turns a whole verb phrase into a noun: 読むよむ (read) plus の (that act) means “the act of reading”. を (object) marks what is read (本ほん (book)), and が (subject) marks that whole reading-act as the thing the speaker 好きすき (like)s.
