past verbal adjective
used as GERUND (result is point out)
Having read the book, he went to the kitchen to eat a bit
Прочитав книгу, он пошёл на кухню чтобы поесть.
Exceptions are verbs of motion like "to go"
Приходя домой, он позвонил ....
Having arrived at home, he called....
another one is "to bring"
Принеся яблоки, она ...
Having brought the apples, she...
present verbal adjective
читая: (long action, GERUND)

comparable to "Gathering the apples, he fell off the tree"

The word order a little bit wierd, I would say like in English - Книга, читаемая студентами....Quote:
