A better question might be, "Is there a way I can get myself the Tome of Understanding without breaking my Evil roleplay?"

Yes, there is, but you need to apply some cheesy foreknowledge.

STEP 1: As soon as you enter BG City, go North and go to the NE section of town, where you'll meet Marek and Lothander. Gun them down in cold blood. Make *damn* sure you get Lothander, killing Marek is of secondary importance. Not only is it nicely Evil to walk into a new city and cheerfully murder practically the first 2 people you see, but it will also prevent the Poison quest from ever taking place.

STEP 2: Pickpocket the Tome of Understanding from Chauntalas Ulbright (something vaguely like that spelling) in the Temple of Tymora. Since Tymora is a Chaotic Good deity, stealing from her Priests would be an Evil act.
