There are too many variables to consider that there can't be an absolute answer.
- If you sepnd time reading a good book, but it's a time when you should be doing something else, is it good for you?
- Escapism can be good, but until what point?
- Literature can open your mind to other ideas, reasons, points of view... But also for trash and waste of time.
- Books are a way to transmit a message. But what are its advantages over other mediums?
- Reading a book is more time consuming than other mediums (a 50 minute tv documentary can transmit you the same info that would take you a day rading, for example)
- Unlike internet, and like TV and radio, books are a non-interactive medium. You can just swallow information.
And many more. It's a complex question.
