Sure, if you're into artsyfartsy stuff, there's other forms of media suited for artistic expression, each witht heir own set of unique things that can't be done with other mediums. In films you can do some visual fuckery you can't do in books and in music, in music you can do all sorts of stuff and so on. What's unique about books is that they're a medium contained entirerly within language. Visuals and music transcend language, anyone from any background can enjoy them, but as for books, the only way for the artist to express his thoughts and emotions is through a commonly shared language. The dvantage of books is that a single person can write it. In music other musicians are involved, imparting their own quirks on it, in films you have actors and musicians and editors and stuff, but with books it often feels very personal cause you get to experience the work of a single author.
>Why you should readCause books don't have visual or auditory ques, they rely a lot on the language, stylistic figures, wording and so on to convey mood, pacing and so on. When taking in such uses of language, you broaden your own tools for thought and expression, cause let's not forget, complex thoughts are thought in language. That is especially important if you're a content creator yourself, or just someone fond of expressing their views and opinions. You can't just substitute one medium for another like "Oh I'll watch films instead of books" as the variety in presentation will broaden your horizons quicker than if you just stuck to one medium. If your eyesight allows for it, I'd reccomend reading a physical book rather than listening to an audiobook.
