Gale! - Patch 7: given the fact that Gale should have high intelligence he behaves somewhat stupid -
when he is given the artifact through book dialog (when you read it and can choose whom to give or what to do with it)
he accepts it, but gives it back - one could argue, that he feels not ready to read it - and this again could indicate that reading it later - at a higher level - could be a good idea.
So far so good.
But: after this he has an exclamation sign above his head to indicate he wants to speak - and when you speak to him he stresses how grateful he is + takes and consumes the book as if it was nothing more like an ordinary magic item (!)
And you cannot do anything to prevent this because the dialog is paused by the cut scene of the magic item consumption.
If it wasn't EA, it would make me cry to see this waste of such an irretrievable magic item.
