You get a little moody sometimes but I think that's because you like to read. People that like to read are always a little fucked up.

The line wryly links intense reading with emotional volatility, suggesting that people who live deeply in books develop heightened sensitivity, restlessness, or dissatisfaction with ordinary life. It treats “moodiness” not as a flaw but as a byproduct of imagination and introspection: reading expands inner life, complicates one’s feelings, and makes a person harder to “smooth out” into simple contentment. The profanity sharpens the joke into a blunt truth-claim—literature can unsettle, expose pain, and cultivate empathy that is itself burdensome. In that sense, the quote celebrates readers as people made more complex (and therefore more troubled) by the very act that enriches them.
