as a British English speaker I don't see them as both expressing enjoyment.
Hi susan,
I'm a little confused about the quote above. Do you mean the 'like' in the sentence 'Do you like reading novels?' doesn't express 'enjoyment?

How do you tell if the speaker means 'it's a good idea' or 'enjoyment' when someone asks: 'Do you like to read novels?' without further context?

Thank you very much.
