Why do we need to read the encyclopedia?

It would not be normal to sit down and read an encyclopedia from cover to cover. An encyclopedia is what is called a reference work, you would use it to look stuff up when you needed to know something specific, rather like using a dictionary to find out how to spell or the meeting of a word that you did not know. It is also rather amusing to open an encyclopedia and have a look at something randomly each day. That way you can build up your general knowledge. The best encyclopedia is of cause the online one called "Wikipedia".

What volume encyclopedia is wiki?

That's an interesting question. If you mean what volume of the encyclopedia has the entry Wiki... that depends on what encyclopedias you are talking about, whether they have that entry, and whether they even have volumes (online ones do not), but I would hazard a guess that the volume would be W, or W-Z, or something similar to that. Many encyclopedias are arranged alphabetically. If you mean something else, like ... what is the volume of the encyclopedia called Wiki... that's harder. I don't know of an encyclopedia called that exact name. Wikipedia is close, but since it is entirely online it would be hard to measure volume... perhaps the servers that the data resides on?
