Answer:

When reading a book you gain not only knowledge but you share another person's view of the world.

A book can comfort and console and be returned to again and again, like meeting an old friend.

A book can grow with you. When you re-read it as your life develops, you will gain more and different insights into the work.

It can be a thing of beauty.
