(Most) Books contain relatively little violence, sex, and especially sexualized violence in comparison to TV and movies. When study after study has shown that what you consume affects how you think, I find this a huge point in favor of books. The amount that people are (and the amount that i have been) desensitized to violence today is insane.<p>I would say they also leave more room for plot development and concise endings. Most shows today drag on for season after season and don&#x27;t have satisfying culminations. I&#x27;ve also seen very few movies that can make me think like a work of fiction can. Seeing the world through another relatable person&#x27;s eyes can be a very profound experience.<p>Ignoring fiction or non fiction is a tragedy in my opinion.
