Frankly, needing to visualise books seems more like a handicap to me.

For me, it's a balancing act which depends on book I'm reading. Sometimes, depending on the book/passage/etc, authors like to write in a visually evocative where being able to picture the environment feels important.

Other times, the emotion or sensation is much more important so the world is described in far less detail.
