Why read it?

Many of us, when young, read Looking-Glass with Carroll’s first work, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, but it was as an adult, eager to reflect philosophically, that I began to appreciate deep puzzles within our language and consciousness – and these are more prominent in Looking-Glass.

From Peter's list on grappling with what it is to be human.
While I love the first book Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland I have to admit I love the sequel just a tad bit more. It’s far more wild, whimsical, and bizarre than the first!
