Fun for that survivor just trying to get by! Essential for those that want to make it past tomorrow. The illiterate think these are excellent as a fire starter for that next gas station.
Books can raise skills, and give you essential crafting recipes. They have a required intelligence skill, a morale modifier, and a read time.
Skill gain
The percentage of a skill level that you will gain from reading is randomly chosen in a range from a minimum of "time / 10 + current intelligence / 4", to a maximum of "time / 5 + current intelligence / 2 - current skill level". Minimal number cannot be lower than 1, maximal number cannot be lower than 2 or higher than 10. So you will need to read a book at least ten times to level up the skill.
Reading requirement
Your character will refuse to read anything if his or her morale is lower than -40 or if it is too dark. Note that the Night Vision mutations do not help in darkness. To read at night you should use a flashlight, a candle or some other kind of fire, or seek out the glow of a terminal. In shadowy conditions reading time is increased.
The Intelligence requirement is a guideline: if yours is lower, it'll take you longer to read the book. No big deal.
The best places to find books are libraries, labs, and mansions.
