To convince women to let them be pooped on. If you're deeply read on the bronte sisters and Walden bitches become convinced that their trite game of sex bouncerism has been sufficiently passed. Alternatively you can be very rich and just mention titles and note you've never read them and that works too

There are many reasons.
To acquire knowledge, clarify one's thinking on a subject, have enjoyable aesthetic experiences, diversify your vocabulary, gain a deeper understanding into the subjective experiences of others, obtain insight from past eras, and generally become less of a brainlet, to name just a few.
