Two major benefits of reading that are not escapism:
1. Staying informed of history, ideas, etc.
2. Keeping your mind in tip top condition.

Chan is tetracycline to newfags because they read stuff they don't expect. Chan is cancer to regular users because they know every thread consists of unrelated shitty answers. But every once in a while I turn on my newfag mind and think, huh, well thus is a funny answer for the thread.

and finally, chan becomes Pure Sublimity to the apotheosized poweruser because it endlessly reflects his own nothingness back at him, the fractured mirrormask of anonymity

Literature is great because you get to indulge in your hobby and convince yourself it's not as big a waste of time as indulging in any of your other hobbies and people around you tend to actually think the same and some even admire you for it.
