Hey c'mon, there's nothing better than books! You can do without songs, but I can't imagine not being able to read another book.
Tom Turnbull
books suck
Nathan Matthew Bosch
you must be a dull guy

Malcolm X said he had never been truly free until he went to prison because that is where he learned to read.
WilhelmDokiDoki
Tom and Nathan can't read.
Jush Heisenberg
The I feel sorry for you. You must have a very boring life.
Shiftreaper95
In all honesty, this question comes at a time where reading is not as popular as music, hence we have these idiots who think that reading means you have a boring life, this is a rather stupid comment. Apparently, literacy is not highly valued as it should be.

Books are good and all but i listen to music much more than i read (not that i don't read) but i can still listen to audio books
Alvo Razzi
Nathan, Tom and Jush(?) are people that don't realize the importance of books even today. I read a lot, and sometimes over-whelm myself but you know, I GET SOMETHING OUT OF IT, rather than have possibly really loud music destroying my ear drums or filling my head with pointless lyrics. All books work your mind in both the left and right hemispheres. I love music with so much passion, but maybe that will push me to find art in another form.

OH NOES i cant read my first second book, music is SO much better than books, i have tv and games for stories butmusic is a one of a kind thing.

I don't think I would be able to live without books: And honestly, I don't really like music...
RavingLunatic
i love reading but music engulfs me everywhere. Life would be extremely silent without music

books are for nerds
bibbs651
who reads books anymore
Neloa
what about books on tape
Aloerca
Without books most of our population would be uneducated...
Jacob
These are the two best things in life... Reading books means gaining perspective, understanding and knowledge. And joke's on those who don't because we all know those things equal power. But in the end, music is more important. One could also get pedantic and argue that you can read plenty of good literature without reading "books", but I don't think that's how the question was intended.
TSOPER
LOL I DONT EVEN READ BOOKS. But im sure the internet dosnt count as a book
Elisabeth
I don't like music - unpopular opinion, I know
brittney
i LOVE books but i cant stop listening to TRAIN
Vanessa Hope
I don't like books... i would get sad without a song in my life :(
Zaltys
I couldn't live without music. But there are plenty of websites and audio books to replace books.
Zaid
NERD!!!
Mikenna
I love to read but I CANNOT live without my music!
calebriley
Audiobooks.

Indeed, listen to 1-2/week
SunnyCrapCake
Oh crap, now I'm reconsidering...

Music raises spirits and brings people with a similar preference or idea together.
MeFromNorway
Same with books, you just have to be a little more patient, and it's MUCH more rewarding.
Paul
May not be able to read books, but you can still read articles, comments, writings, etc. I can't live without any music, life would be much less enjoyable.
Chewsonthemove
Paul... sadly it says that you can't read anything in the subtext
Magnetic Purple
I need books to study
Anthony Kelly
Books help you see the world (or a different world altogether) from a completely different perspective. That's why I chose them.
Des
By far, this is the hardest question i've seen so far.
GareBear
*Head explodes* No more reading or no more books?
Nathan Matthew Bosch
you can still read dude
Lawrence
Actually in the subtext it says "No more music or no more reading."
frostehh
This was an easy one to me. I'm surprised most disagree...
Mimi
You know, I think I'd rather read.
Ryan
If you dislike books, you probably have a low IQ.
Jush Heisenberg
Or we aren't boring. I have an IQ of 141, and I despise reading more than anything, unless it's reading stuff on /b/.
Jush Heisenberg
By the way, music is a lot more complex than reading when you make it, or when you analyze the structure, details, etc. of songs like I do.
Steven Tang
Just because I chose never to read another book doesn't mean I dislike them. It's just I like music more.
prinner
IQ means virtually nothing, and it certainly has nothing to do with your interest in reading
Jiraiya Sannin
I took a literacy comprehension test when I was in 8th grade and had a reading level of a college student, mind you I don't ever read. So fuck your shit.
brandonw00
Most music is shit now days.
Jacob
Somehow causing all music ever to be shit?
Jush Heisenberg
Just because you're too lazy to look for good music doesn't mean it isn't there. Nobody's allowed to call any period of music entirely shit because there never was a period of entirely bad music and there never will be. There is always good and bad music.
Franklin Chen
Still, jush, knowledge is more important
Allain
Fuck Books
peterm516
people still read books!??
Mimi
People over the age of fifteen do.
Benjamin
I don't want to live on this planet anymore (Only reason Im blue is because I accidentally picked the first one)
CptHomer
And people under the age of 15 also does.
Jush Heisenberg
People who don't appreciate how great music can be prefer books. I feel sorry for those people. I wish everybody would realize how great music is, like I did.
Ralathon
@mimi not everybody under the age 15 is an idiot. I was reading Stephen Hawking and Oddesy by 9
Jimmy Brown
You can live another life in a book.
Nick B.
Wait...how do I change my vote?
fluteygurl0
One word. Audiobooks.
Amanda
I can just sing the songs to myself :) i read all the time so this was an easy one.
Jacob
Have fun, but you won't hear yourself.

Ignorance...ignorance everywhere...
overtherainbow
You can listen to music and let it make you cheerful as much as you want, but there is nothing as stimulating to the mind as reading.
Noob
Anything you get from music, you can get from books...plus books enhance your brain, whereas music doesn't.
Jacob
Everything about what you said is extremely wrong. I feel sorry for you. I'm not hating on books, I love books, but they do not accomplish everything that music does, nor does music accomplish everything that books do.
Jush Heisenberg
Listen to the album Merzbox by Merzbow. Then say that a book can cause the sensations that one gets from listening to the songs in that. And music can enhance your brain a lot if you actually analyze how it's structured and what creates it instead of just listening to the foreground while you preoccupy yourself with other activities.
Pegleg Dan
audiobooks ftw
Nathan
call me a nerd.
cbowd36
I like books, but I couldn't live without music
Scatty

erin says hi
I love reading more thab music. Your argument is invalid
Mason
Audiobooks bitches
Jamie Thepooh
I love reading, but hey- audiobooks!
Dave
Music is the universal language!
sweetdanger98
That was to evil. i love both.
Tino
People has spoken, books are not as important as music, check the numbers above. Sorry for the book lovers. Music is part of the soul, it exist from the beginning of the human being, even animals make songs (like birds chirping) and movies like Social Network had an amazing soundtrack! Trent Reznor managed to put the feelings on it, and is not the best example i can comeup now.
hendrxson
its basically you wanna be blind or deaf
Vesko
Um, no, it is not.
Robbie Cramer
Umm... yes it is

Get out of class assignments WOOOOOO
Krizia Brion Perito
I need books in my life.
Victoria
Either find myself magically placed in a new realm, full of unlimited possibilities? I could read textbooks, fiction, anything. Or, I could not listen to music. I love music... but books are just... too important to me.
Roman Suslov
I guess I could listen to Audiobooks... I really didn't want to give either one up, but stories can be told, songs cannot be written.
iMustacheUaQuestion
who needs books? GOOGLE BITCH >:D
Kayla Katmus Gross
I'm a writer. Books all the way.
Jozette Disbrow
Answering that question just killed me!
Lawrence
To never be able to hear such music again would be soul crushing. To never be able to listen to Beethoven, Michael Jackson or any of the millions of amazing artists out there. I love books. I love being educated by them and I love being engrossed in a story. But music you can share with others and enjoy by yourself while books are personal. Unless your in a book club discussing it which doesn't even compare to jamming out with friends. Besides the are audio books and the are teachers and videos.
Jush Heisenberg
Plus, writing a book can be very stressful, while making music is usually just fun. Very hard work, but very fun work.
Galiyin
Lol I hate reading and loovvveee music so this was the easiest question I've seen
TheIrishFox
You can always have audio books.
Patrick Rochefort
This may be the hardest one I've run into yet.
Joshua Gallagher
Well I'm in a band so my life'd be fucked if I had no music...
Jush Heisenberg
Same. Except I'm a solo musician.
Klurg Blurg
I hate music and if I couldn't read books what would I get from book reports? D:
ana321
i don't read anyway -.-
Hamish
WHAT.
44jean
I'm already not reading any book.
Martinez
Books can be adapted into different forms of entertainment, songs on the other hand are useless without music. Reading lyrics is nowhere near as rewarding and as much of an impact as hearing the song.
KhrispyAce
this was way too hard. but audiobooks are alright i guess.
