If you could enjoy reading, the realm of books would become some kind of paradise which isnot to be experienced in watching television solely for entertainment.

One is something functional, the other is something you dobecause you enjoy it. That is to say, the more you enjoy reading, the more language skills youwould obtain, independent of whether you like to watch TV or not.
