Could you write a successful book on the dangers of reading books?

Haha!

I don't think there's much danger in reading. I also don't think there's enough information about that to fill a book, let alone an entire page.

One danger might be just assuming what you read is the truth. It's important to always question authority, including your own, constantly.

For writers (who, for some reason are told to read everything all the time over and over, by the ‘gurus’) [as if that could teach you how to write—it can't] if you read something by someone else, and you don't have to read more than a chapter or two by them, it can affect your own authorial voice in ways that you really don't want it to. This is of course, based on the natural plasticity of the human brain. Most writers stay away from other works when they are busy writing their own works, for that exact reason.

I mean, hey, I love Raymond Chandler, but I don't wanna sound like Raymond Chandler. I want to sound like me. That said, Raymond Chandler has probably provided more examples to me of what's possible than any other author. I love the inspiration. But what I write has to be genuinely something that comes from me.
