People all over the world enjoy music and books. No matter what their age, nationality and interests are. Books are important because they educate, entertain and help strengthen you language. Same with music, people discovered that it helps them learn better if they memorized information like it was a song by making a tune out of it.

Second of all, you can always access books. Unlike music, which is always accessible through technology and as you know, you can’t always rely on them. They run out of battery and get viruses etc.
Next, music is limited. You can’t really gain knowledge out of listening to a few tunes.
Contrary to music, books can take you on adventures. Things that you cannot possibly do otherwise. You can read about world history, the Big Bang and evolution. You may not believe in these things, but it’s great to open your mind to the endless possibilities. You can also read biographies of amazing people. People who helped change the world and make it better. People like Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela and more recently Steve Jobs.
In my opinion, I prefer books. When people tell me they simply don’t like books I don’t believe them. How can someone not like books? I tell them that they just haven’t found the right books for them. The right genre. Besides, music can actually harm you on the long run. We all know that as we age, so does our ears.

In conclusion, the influence of books is greater than music. Books will not harm you. In fact, books will help you become a better person, writer and student. Music is also great, but remember to not
