What does this quote mean a man is known by the books he reads?
Although it is an overstatement to claim that we are the product of the books that we read, it is nonetheless true that we are strongly influenced by the books that we read (at least, those of us who read books are strongly influenced by them). Books have a lot to tell us, and we often form opinions on the basis of what we learn from books. People who read intelligent and sophisticated books are more likely to be intelligent and sophisticated people. People who read foolish books are often foolish people. Thus, you learn a lot about someone by knowing what kind of books they read.
