It cannot be denied that the following quote by Samuel Johnson will be enough to suggest to you why you should read this book, for it reveals the genius of the master writer:
"Every writer of travels should consider that, like all other authors, he undertakes either to instruct or please, or to mingle pleasure with instruction. He that instructs must offer to the mind something to be imitated, or something to be avoided; he that pleases must offer new images to his reader, and enable him to form a tacit comparison of his own state with that of others."
.......Johnson: Idler #97 (February 23, 1760)
