Answer:
Books. Alright, I can do this one. It may be half past one in the morning, but hey, high school has prepped me for this since day one.
Speaking of high school, in my state, part of the 12th grade curriculum is the book 1984 by George Orwell. In it, he describes a dystopian future in which a political party has managed to obtain complete control over society. No action goes unseen, no word unheard, and no thought unread. It demands complete and utter loyalty from its members, and in return it gives them whatever they would need to survive.
The Party, as it is lovingly referred to, has such total control over its people that marriages are arranged by the government, education is provided by the government, food is issued by the government. News, industrial processes, sports, even fortification-all controlled by the government. The Party is absolute.
One of the biggest enemies of the Party and thus the Party's power is books because books are one of the best ways to spread ideas. In the Revolution that occured leading to the Party seizing control, all books were destroyed. They do not exist in the realm of 1984.
Now, let us shy away from fiction and into reality. There is a period of time referred to as the Enlightenment, in which mankind as a whole opened up its eyes and realized that we were capable of much more than we had previously accomplished. Philosophers met frequently to exchange thoughts, and eventually certain philosophers wrote their thoughts ans ideas into books. These books aided the transfer of ideas immensely. In fact, they were so influential that eventually a group of colonies banded together and rebelled against the most powerful empire of the time in an attempt to establish a government based upon the ideas of the Enlightment era. They were successful, and thus the United States was born.
So back to the question. Books are important because they provide a few things that are key to an open and intelligent society. They provide a safe place for any intellectual to store his or her thoughts. They provide a means of transporting these thoughts from person to person. They provide a chance to influence the values and intelligence of a society.
Oh, and if you have not managed to derive the reason why you should read books, let me explain. By partaking in a well written book, you are exposing yourself to the inner workings of somebody else's mind. You are catching a glimpse of their passions and values. You are absorbing a piece of their being. You can then utilize that knowledge that you have gained to be a good and productive member of society, one that can make wise and just and decisions, amd you will in turn be able to make your own mark on history.
