I suppose it depends on who you are and how you look at the world. If you're coming from a standpoint that books inform and educate their readers and you find that fact disturbing or wrong, then I suppose you would think that books are dangerous. Also, there are no real restrictions on what can be written in a book, unlike newspapers and magazines. Without any censorship, some may find that the language or ideas that are presented in certain books is unsuitable for young children or other groups of people.
From my perspective, I think books are essential to the preservation of human history as well as to the betterment of the mind and soul. Books can be more powerful than any other medium. They can stir emotions, educate the masses, and draw us into unforgettable stories. I can't imagine a life without books and I'm not sure how I would unwind at night if I didn't have access to them.
