You can travel in space and time with books. Reading improves thinking. The English language is the largest language in all history…there are lots of ways to use it to transmit information or just create gorgeous prose.
The experience and knowledge you can get from books is cheaper than similar knowledge gained from trial and error in the real world, which is sometimes ridiculously expensive.
Wherever this isn’t true, books aren’t so important.
