Is reading too much dangerous?
Physically it could potentially cause a headache or eye strain. On a different note, there are some that believe that reading too much will cause people to quit thinking for themselves and begin to depend on only what they get from a book. Einstein was from this school of thought. He believed that even though you should be literate and educate yourself, you should still take time to experiment and have independent thought. He felt that only learning by what was in a book would lead to not having any new thoughts or ideas.

Is the hypothalamus is a gland or not?
The parts that traditionally comprise the hypothalamus are not usually considered as a gland. However, a part of the pituitary gland -- which is a type of gland called an endocrine gland-- is actually just an extension of part of the hypothalamus. So technically, it'd be perfectly reasonable to say that that part of the hypothalamus is also part of an endocrine gland.
Glands come in two types: endocrine and exocrine. Endocrine glands secrete chemicals into the bloodstream, whereas exocrine glands secrete chemicals and fluids out of the body.
The pituitary gland (also called the hypophysis) is one of the body's major endocrine glands. In fact, it is considered the "master gland" of the endocrine system. The pituitary gland can be divided into parts; two major parts are called the anterior pituitary gland and the posterior pituitary gland. "Anterior" means that part is towards the front of the gland; "posterior" means it is towards the back.
Both parts of the pituitary gland, both anterior and posterior, are endocrine glands. But they have very different structures. The structure of the anterior pituitary is reflected in its other name, adenohypophysis; "adeno-" means glandular and refers to the glandular appearance of the anterior pituitary when viewed under a microscope. In contrast, the posterior pituitary is also called the neurohypophysis; "neuro-" refers to the fact that the posterior pituitary resembles tissue of the nervous system when viewed under a microscope.
The two major pieces of the pituitary gland have different microscopic appearances because they come from different areas of the body. The anterior pituitary actually develops from an outpouching of the roof of the mouth early in development. In contrast, the posterior pituitary comes from the gradual extension of the hypothalamus, which lies directly on top of the pituitary gland.
During development, nerve cells (called neurons) of the hypothalamus send long projections (called axons) to form the posterior pituitary. Once they reach the right spot, they set up shop next to a blood vessel. There they organize themselves so that the ends of their projections (called axon terminals) sit right next to the blood vessel wall. These terminals contain little sacs of hormones that get released into the bloodstream whenever the nerve cell is excited.
So yes, it's definitely fair to consider at least a part of the hypothalamus as an endocrine gland.

How does the Endocrine System work with other body systems?
The endocrine system is a system of glands that secrete hormones directly into the blood. These hormones effect all sorts of bodily functions such as metabolism, growth, tissue function, sleep, and mood cycles. These hormones effect how your body grows bone and when, how your body developes during puberty, increases and decreases your core temperature, increases muscle growth, promotes healthing, increases or decreases fat storage, stimulates our appetite, tells us when to sleep, helps us deal with pain, supports our ability to become and carry a pregnancy, and so much more....
Also, many organs actually have an endocrine function such as the kidneys, heart, liver, and gonads.
What other systems are needed for the endocrine system to function properly?
The nervous system and the circulatory system are needed for the endocrine system to work properly. The pituitary gland and the hypothalamus are located in the brain and are part of the endocrine system. The cardiovascular system is needed to transport the various hormones through the body. Hormones are a chemical form of remote control, and it is the blood that carries the hormones made by the endocrine system to all the tissues that respond to them.

What statements best characterizes differences between the nervous and endocrine systems?
While both systems communicate to many parts of the body, and control aspects of its functioning, the nervous system acts quickly, and the endocrine system acts more slowly.
Both systems use chemical messengers to communicate from cells to other cells in the body. The endocrine system uses chemicals called hormones, and the nervous system uses chemicals called neurotransmitters.
The endocrine system releases hormones into the blood stream, which transports them throughout the body where they act on cells anywhere in the body when they reach cells which have the corresponding receptors.
The nervous system releases neurotransmitters from a neuron into a very small gap called a synapse where it diffuses very quickly to another neuron.
It takes much longer for a hormone to reach its distant target by being moved around the body by the blood stream than it takes neurotransmitters to move between neurons and for a consequently generated action potential impulse to be moved along a neurons axon to its destination.
