I didn't immediately understand the line "beware those who are always reading books."
Perhaps the line means that people who read a lot are judgemental and likely to hate others. If that's the case, I don't really buy it, because people who truly read a lot are probably too busy reading to hate people not in the books.

I think it’s more about living more in a literary world than in a real one. As a person with book worm tendencies, I understand quite well how it can be harmful.
