What can literature add to your life? (I)

Reading is a necessary activity if you want to improve your reading skills, your memorization process, your understanding level, etc. However, these different reasons for reading have a teleological aspect which isn't my point here. Reading also opens you up to the opportunity of getting to know new worlds, new realities...that are shaped by the reader or, in other words, YOU. It's you who shape your reading imagination. You can create your fictional reality is a more or less complex way. It's you who unconsciously decide because reading is an individual activity. This is one of the reasons why people who read a specific book do not like its adaptation (translation?) into cinema. You have your own adaptation; the script writers have theirs; the directors have theirs; etc. Anyway, going bak to our question... Look at the different aspects and opportunities reading creates for you. Imagine if we speak about literature. You also have that wonderful world of imagination, yeah. But, apart from that, you have different parallel worlds which can also be enjoyed. For example, you can enjoy the writer's use of language and literary techniques and resources, the structure of the work itself, the ideas concealed within, etc. These are some ideas about what literature can add to your life. Summing up, literature can add lovely experiences to you life. Will you reject them?
