Aposhitehyid, that is a different discussion… The visual effects of enveloping one’s self in all the senses, visual, audio…a movie is far worse. Books can be very damaging, but there are goyishe books that are kosher, such as rav hirsch telling his kehila to read the works of schiller, saying that he has Jewish values. Notice how he qualifies his advice by saying the he has Jewish values, not that he would advocate reading anything you want in the name of openness or “how weak can you be that you’re so easily influenced”, the sort of apikorsus you hear routinely from MO
