Do you use this sentence in present tense (read = is reading) or
do you always use "I'm reading a book." instead?

It depends on context. You can say, for example, "I read a book every day." Or "Every day I go to school. Then I go to class. I read a book. Then I go home."

However, without context, I would usually read this sentence as being in the past tense.
