A book is a form of entertainment which you can only truly enjoy if you travel the world. When the characters in the book are traveling all over the world, it becomes easy to imagine that you can do the same thing. You can visit new places, meet new people and experience new adventures. Your imagination becomes more powerful because you can use it on many different areas of your life instead of just one.
