no matter whether = whether?
Excuse me, does anyone know if the following two sentences are equal?
No matter whether it is a good book, I will not read it.
Whether it is a good book, I will not read it.
can we switch between "no matter whether" and "whether"?
thanks

The second is probably grammatically correct, but it doesn't feel right to me somehow. I'm not sure why. I want an "or not" in there somewhere.
The second sentence does not feel to be grammatically correct. The second sentence should be "Whether it is a good book or not, I will not read it".
It can be even made simple by writing "Even if it is a good book, I will not read it."
Like this:
No matter whether it is a good book, I will not read it.
Whether it is a good book or not, I will not read it.
