What novel/author? I don't think I've ever read a book that the author doesn't at least give some location description. In fact, most of the time the seem to go too overboard with describing a room or something.

I've read some authors that will, at best, describe one or two characters by hair color, and nothing more. Some people just seem really blind to the need for visuals, yet they still manage to sell copies.
