I could watch movies and TV instead, but those are shallower formats. A documentary is never going to go into the detail that a book will, there just isn't time. If there were no more books, I suppose I would have to write some.

Best answer yet, in case books will be gone for good, that is, a thing that could/should never happen. Life is so dull without books. Fictional books, educational books, can't live without them.
I always thought books are there to teach us lessons that we don't need to learn by experience, sure it doesn't apply to everything but you get to see wrong actions done by some characters and once you flip through the pages to see their consequences, you are well aware you will never do things similar to those.
The same is true with looking at inspirational characters and their certain situations. The beauty with books is that it takes you anywhere your imagination can take you. It's not as limited as your tv shows where it only shows the visual details. Imagination and making your mind work up makes books the best thing ever to grace the world of learning.
