Answer 1

You might understand why people do the things they do, for example, by seeing the reasons a character does something. For example, reading Harry Potter books can help people understand things about how to be a better friend.

Answer 2

Information helps you to function better in the everyday, 3rd dimensional world.  Enlightenment is a state wherein you have become aware of the true nature of your existence and that of the cosmos. Reading the works of appropriate "metaphysicians" and mystics, especially those that share with you the techniques for experiencing the presence of enlightened consciousness, is a "must" for humans who wish to transcend the merely mundane :)))
