I'm not talking about fiction books. I'm talking about non-fiction books. I personally find it kind of pointless to read books when you can just use the internet to learn stuff.
Raises INT stat by 1
internet tutorials usually only show you the surface, if you wan't deep knowledge on a topic you need books
I like books
Yes, you’ll have a wider vocabulary, and you’ll become more open minded. However you’ll get these same benefits from learning in general, not only reading.

But the internet is chaotic and full of contradicting informations. Books arent perfect either but at least they are (usually) well organised.
You should use both ideally
its meant to be relaxing but its boring as hell
Some books are good for coping tbh
Science and Philosophy are good non-fiction subjects to start with. I like a large old Atlas to study at the library.
My brain is so fried that if I read for like 5 mins I will get irritated and stop and never read again. Sometimes even reading here is hard asf
You get to look superior to those around you.

there are a few good books 
You might learn something.
Is one by Vladimir Nabokov?there are a few good books
Yes it has a lot of benefits, make sure to always read the best books. I believe it was Schopenhauer who said that once you've read only the best books, which are not many, you won't even need to read the rest. Quality over quantity, basically.
The internet can be shut down, or you might not have access.
It's harder to take a book away from you or edit/tamper with it in any way. It's a physical medium, a medium that functions even without electricity and can last for a long time.
Interestingly, I'm halfway through Schopenhauer's The World as Will and Representation right now.
I actually haven't read that one yet
yeah they can be beneficial to read
Of course
How long have you been reading that? I still haven't finished it even though I've been reading it for months now, not everyday though. It's really dense and requires quite a lot of deep knowledge of other philosphers, but it's an amazing read nonetheless.
Halfway through "that one" rn
Like a month? I don't intend to fully grasp it on my first read though, and I'm most likely going to re-read it. I still struggled with some passages and had to rely on AI and other sources for clarification, and other parts, like the detailed bits about Geometry and other sciences in the first Book, I just skipped or skimmed.
I'm mostly interested in his ethics, but the rest of the book is still too fascinating to give up.
Besides being more detailed, books may have obscure info that isn’t readily available on the internet. Also, I find books easier to read than PDFs.
