Argument: Reading books (besides an interesting and useful hobby) can be a way out for introvert people, in order to stay home and avoid interacting with others. When this hobby though becomes the norm, introverts can easily be drawn into it and become socially isolated.
Question 1: When do you think reading stops being useful and becomes a bad habit?
Question 2: Where would you put the limits to it?
I agree that reading can possibly have negative influence for introvert people. As in any hobby, there are limits on the time that should be spent on them. Introvert people can find mulitple ways of staying in their comfort zone (which never helps people grow), isolating themselves.
In my opinion, an adult should take care of his social relationships which are crucial for his psychological health and will play a sifnificant role in his general well being. Creating and maintaining strong relationships (romantic or friendships) needs conscious action. An introvert adult could read free of guilt as long as he maintains quality romantic relationship and 2-3 friendships where he can be 100% himself, exchange ideas and generally have deep communication.
