That means I have to move my hand away from the keyboard, move the mouse, press some keys, move my mouse, press some keys... Sigh. I'm tired just thinking of it.

If I was one of the seven deadly sins, I'd be sloth. Or pride. Or gluttony. You know what? Just put me down for all of them except violence. Was violence one? Meh.

Well, technically that is only an opinion. Here is a another opinion: some books are not very smart. So, to answer you question, books are pieces of matter used for entertainment and/or learning.
What about those really boring classics that you have to read in school that you don't actually enjoy or learn anything from?
1. Entertainment doesn't mean you like something, it means it gives you something to do.
2. Someone else has liked it.

If actions speak louder than words, how is the pen mightier than the sword?And how does Percy Jackson's sword/pen Riptide fit into this!
The pen is mightier than the sword because it can do better than kill; it can disgrace. It can make you despised amongst your friends, hated by the public and held at arms length by your relatives. All with a few. Simple. Words.
Howver, in close combat, do not attept a block with your pen. Unless it is Riptide.

We read with pens? I've got to go try something.

In one universe we all are. And we go around fighting crime, dressed in costumes from the eighties. Quick team! To the jazz-mobile.
When we get old enough we can have rituals done, and you choose your god and goddess and all that.
Scratchy throat, stomach ache, and I stayed up late.
