Initial release
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.
