The first makes a direct inquiry in the second clause; the second sentence uses its second clause to qualify the first clause: it says, in effect, that the book is a good read only if the listener is interested in the topics. | |

So is this sentence gramatically correct? This is a good read, are you interested in more related topics. Does it have the same meaning as This is a good read, if you are interested in more related topics.
