Reading Is Bad

Don't you just hate actually having to open books to read them? Reading Is Bad adds a new Absorb Knowledge spell, the tome for which can be found in Farengar's library in Dragonsreach. When the spell is cast, the provided SKSE plugin scans a configurable radius around the player and marks all books in that radius as read. Dual casting the spell doubles the effective radius. Two ini settings are provided in ReadingIsBad.ini: fSpellRange for the effective radius of the Absorb Knowledge spell, and bSkipSpellTomes for skipping spell tomes.

Built with CommonLibSSE NG. Should work for all versions of Skyrim (SE, AE, and VR).

Compatibility
  • Load before lighting overhauls like Lux
  • Compatible with Reading Is Good (lol)
  • Compatible with Experience
  • Semi-incompatible with The Choice Is Yours--you'll still have to open quest-giving books for the "accept quest" prompt to show up
  • Always safe to install/update/uninstall
