So 읽을수록 재미있어요 means:

• the more you read it, the more interesting/fun it is
• or it gets more interesting as you read it more

How it is formed:

• verb stem + -을수록 / -ㄹ수록
• 읽다 → stem 읽- → 읽을수록

Why is it 읽을수록 and not 읽으면 읽을수록?

Both patterns exist, but they are slightly different in style.

• 읽을수록 재미있어요 is a very common, natural, compact way to say it.
• 읽으면 읽을수록 재미있어요 is also correct and often feels a bit more emphatic: the more and more you read it, the more interesting it gets.

So:

• 읽을수록 = concise and natural
• 읽으면 읽을수록 = also natural, slightly more expanded/emphatic

Learners often first meet the longer pattern, but the shorter -을수록 version is extremely common.
