  In context, it is, in fact. That's because literature is much more
related to the culture around you (which, in the end, is closely related
to socializing between people), while differential calculus isn't.

  Humans are cultural and social beings and literature is one of the
best forms of learning and expressing about it. That's why it's usually
considered a good thing for your education to read a lot.
