I've been thinking about Fahrenheit 451, in which the job of the fireman is to burn books.
What would the world be like without books?
Sure, we have eBooks, audiobooks and other formats, but technology can fail. Besides, there is nothing quite like the feel of a good book in your hands.
A world without books would be like opera without the music, a marriage without love.
I definitely would miss my books.

It's a Philip K. Dick World! “Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn’t go away.” —Philip K. Dick Government intrusion into our personal lives is increasing, the economy is shot and the media focus on hate and violence. Philip K. Dick's fifth and last wife, Tessa Dick, talks about her husband. I have my own books and stories, as well.

Although ice cream can still be enjoyed without a spoon. There's cones, waffles, cookies.
and your right nothing beats the feel of an actual bound and well appointed book!

Susie, thank you so much!
The ice cream with no spoon is such a great comparison - without books there'd be a whole world of information and no way for you to take it in!
thanx, Shelley!
A world without books would be as if we were dressed with nowhere to go or nobody showed up to my kids birthday party boo!
A world without books would be like Yogi Bear without Boo Boo.
John, that is one beautiful comparison.
How about Fred without Wilma?

shaeeza, I know exactly what you mean / how you feel
It would be like flowers without color. Or popcorn without butter. I'd simply die, especially without the butter. =)
me too, GirlParker
