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?

Im going to explain it to you the way a teacher once told it to me, not regarding books but rather those complicated maths “you will never use in real life”, regardless, the concept is the same:
Sure, you are likely to never use what im teaching you, in fact if you go and get a job in this you will likely only use the most basic form of this, never something as complicated as what youll see in a test… But thats not the point, your brain is a muscle and it needs to train, if one day you are able to solve all these math problems without issue, when you go out to the
“real world” nothing you find will be hard compared to what you are doing here, im not teaching you to solve this specific math problem but rather teaching you to SOLVE PROBLEMS, because there is no easy recipe solution for everything, you need to think and every problem you solve will make the next one easier
Same thing applies to books, its not about the specific book you are reading, its about being able to analyze ANY text, being able to look beyond the words in front of you
