A lot of people read as a hobby and that is completely easy to understand.
But at least in my country we need to read fiction books in school and analyse them.
It’s important to know that I am talking about fiction, not about history or math books. I am talking about Shakespeare and those fiction writers.
As an example, we need to explain the meaning of verses in poems and we need to understand what is the meaning behind books.
Why we need to do this? Is the necessary nowadays?

Stories teach lessons. And I’m talking literally any story that’s ever been told. An episode of SpongeBob carries some type of meaning, no matter how small.
So the goal of analyzing fiction is to find that meaning. It helps develop your critical thinking skills, which then strengthens your communication skills. You start to understand the emotional/mental intricacies of how to communicate with people… or tell stories. These skills translate into real life whether you realize it or not.
