I'm an amateur. So amateur, I was literally born yesterday.
Why do I like books? WHY DO I LIKE BOOKS? It should be so easy to answer. It should be the most simplest answer ever to a seemingly easy question. But it's not. It's in fact the most difficult question Twilight has ever answered. She might even explode from it.
P.S. She doesn't actually explode.
P.SS. Or does she?

A bit pointless, but good all the same.
Another spiral into insanity caused by the literary device called "books".

What is wrong with silly random fun?
4192943 that's what Celestia said when Luna told her that discord would get out of hand.
If executed just a little better, it might get featured. I still see this going to seven. Inb4 featured.
Herp Derp.
An interesting point. Why do we like anything? I'm not going to start a philosophical debate in the comments but it's an interesting question. Anyway this was a good story and for that I will give it 4 mustaches out of 5
4192943 I just think the ending could have been a bit more...satisfying.
4193242 thanks, maybe I'll change that. I got pretty tired at the end and just thought, "the hell with it"
4193341 you my man know how to rate things.
4193341 We like thinks for a multitude of reasons.
The first being abused by drugs, giving us a wonderful feeling that sends certain pulses through our neural network. It makes us feel good, litterally.
The second is satisfaction. I am a semi completionist; I am happy to complete a task, but won't go to extremes to do so. A sense of completion once again triggers certain tingles in the brain, you guess, making us feel good. This is most likely wired into twilights brain, whenever opening a book, whenever turning a page, whenever finishing a book.
A better question would be:Why prefer, for example, yellow over green or visa versa? It just "looks good". But then again, colours aren't set in stone and made up by the brain, so what is your yellow might be my green. We are all simply teached that green is green. Even though it might be your yellow.
Young children are learned to like male of female colours, the choice isn't there. But what if your pink is the same as my red, and the same as someone elses blue, and the same as someone elses violet? We will all "like" the same colour. Maybe it is genetically wired. Maybe our subconciouss craves it. Who knows?

In response to the both of you, it is easy to define activities that we enjoy.
However to address your question, the why is simple. We like things because that makes us care about those things. Without this ability to care we would find it much harder to protect our young. This in turn would cause those who did not care to simply not breed and to be removed from the general scheme of things, extinction if you will.
This is a vague reason that many can argue with, but it is the easiest way I could think up to describe why.
As for the colors... I can prove that the colors that you see are the colors I see. The thing is, colors have different lightness and darkness, which can be used to convert a rainbow into a monochrome bar. This bar would be lighter for colors like yellow and darker for colors like most purples. With this in mind we only need to establish if what one sees is my black or yours, which is surprisingly simple when you consider that humans can loose all sensory input, which biologically speaking can only result in the color we know as black, or lack of sensory input.
Using the lack of sensory input, we establish that black is black and that if it was white it would be detectable with a simple MRI. This establishes the collors with yellow being an undisputed lighter color in everyone's vision.
Tired now, falling unconscious. See, this is what happens when I stay up too late.
