My grammatical knowledge tells me that a sentence like "We read a book." is grammatical , so is true with " The book is read by us" in its passive form. But I just feel confused when I meet a sentence like "The book is interesting to read" instead of "The book is interesting to be read". What might be the cause of the difference? Is it related to the use of infinitives? Or otherwise?
