1. Books contain knowledge. This is an obvious fact, but it is also a very true and important fact. All books contain some form of knowledge although it may be hard to see how it does. The most obvious would-be non-fiction books which can teach you things explicitly. Fiction books can also teach you things though. They can teach you how to act or maybe a problem that you should look for in your day-to-day life. They may also open your eyes to some new information which although not factual, may be close to the truth.
2. Resets you attention span. Many forms of entertainment today have decreased the human’s attention span. Books are a very slow form of content. The words cannot be sped up. You can only read at the fastest speed that you can. This causes your brain to undergo an amount of effort to read. By reading you are making yourself able to focus on a specific task for a long period of time. By doing that your attention span is fixed and increases.
3. It prevents you from doing unproductive items. There are so many things that people do which are unproductive. Watching entertainment or just being lazy and doing nothing are some things that everyone does. When you read a book, you are using that time that otherwise would have been wasted or used negatively in order to do something positive. This makes books worth the time as otherwise you wouldn’t have been doing anything worth that time anyways.

Books are amazing forms of entertainment as they teach you, fix your attention span, and prevent you from doing unproductive activities.
