The more I thought about it, I realized that books are pretty much better than boys in a lot of ways. So here are 10 reasons why you should go to bed with a book instead of a boy tonight.
1. Books are better for your brain. Reading exercises your mind, which makes you smarter and more productive.
2. Books smell better. Have you ever sniffed a book? It smells amazing! New books smell like freshly printed paper and old books have a timely, musty scent. Much better than a sweaty boy.
3. Books are straightforward. Books say what they mean, unlike boys who often say one thing and mean something completely different.
4. Books are low pressure. Boys tend to rush us like when we’re getting ready or sometimes they pressure us to move too fast. With a book, you can go at your own pace. You can even put it down and pick it back up later.
5. Books take you on better dates. A book can take you to Paris, Italy, Hogwarts or some far off land you’ve never heard of. A boy will take you to the local pizza shop.
6. Books tell better stories. Obviously. Boys tell stories about their bros and the time they ate an entire large pizza in ten minutes. Snooze.
7. Books last longer. A good book can keep you up all night. A boy…well he might keep you up for an hour. Maybe.
8. Books are always there for you. Boys can be there for you too, but there’s nothing like escaping a problem with your favorite characters. And they aren’t going anywhere, while your man is itching to go play video games.
9. Boys in books are better. Ever fallen in love with a character from a book? Mr. Darcy, anyone? Exactly.
10. Books give great advice. The things characters go through might mimic what’s happening in your life, and you can gain a lot of insight where a boy probably doesn’t know the right thing to say.
What do you think, are books really better than boys? What’s your favorite read? Tell us in the comments.

This has to be the dumbest piece of bull sh*t I’ve ever read, I came her due to Smosh, and then I read this, now you’re turning 10 year old girls into feminists and crap, making them think all boys are is stinky, boring, and cheap.
Of course! Because they really are.
And so what if girls are feminists? They ARE girls, what do you want them to be? Are you god to decide what gender they should be or what they should be or what they should be reading?
Really, stop inflicting your opinions with the world. For one thing, it doesn’t make you less sh*t if you label someone/thing with that.
I LOVE the smell of books. If a guy smells like books he might have a better chance of getting me into bed…LOL!
And, I will admit, in pretty much every book I read, I fall in love with a male character. I am obsessed with characters from certain books. Like, if they had been real people, I would be arrested.
