taking a book without reading it? : V

When you pickup a book it always open to the first page.
I want to place it immediately in inventory. If I decide to read it later, I will. If not, I'll sell it.
When I see a book while traveling Skyrim, I'll pick it up for it's monetary value and that's it.

I don't read the books either, [censored] books

I would like to be able to do this just so I can save the skill books until my skills are around 80-90

tried to delete, but can't. sorry for the waste of space.

Close your eyes when you pick them up and double tap E

Ok sorry for the obvious trolling.

Serious now : No i don't think there's a way to do so. Might have to wait for a mod or two for it.

I know what you mean though, it's kinda annoying to "read" every book you pick up.

some of the books are enjoyable with good story telling, but the history ones are a little dry. :batman:

I read the books, but only ones dealing with my playstyle, the rest I sell. (so I don't need to read them all)

I'm talking about the spell books.

I have read 74 books to date. I will read every one cover to cover. Am I the only freak doing this?

I sometimes, they are interesting. Depends on my mood.

Just double click it quickly, I have an xbox and it works fine.

Well, I've heard you can take em without reading on PC from my friend, hitting a secondary loot button, but on Consoles I think We're SoL.

Err Edit:
Yeah, I think you can just double tap it.

'Lusty Argonian Maid' is by far the most enjoyable book i read in Skyrim.

LOL

I like the books about sheograth, also chance is a good one about the thief. I like the begger one as well. Those are the books I like, but the history of barzaiha and polagia the wolf queen are dull.

I'm on PC.
Need to look into that "secondary loot" button.

Perhaps telling Lydia to pick it up, then take it from her inventory would work?
Haven't tried yet.

I actually enjoy reading these books. Haven't read all of them yet, still trying to find some in order.

My favorite has to be http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:Surfeit_of_Thieves

I'm actually going to play oblivion and morrowind for the first time. I want to read all the books in those games and get into the lore a bit. Its hard though to read everything you come across. Did it for awhile, then some I just ended up flipping through.

Read the books man. Some are really good like The Wolf Queen books, also read The Real Barenziah.

The real barenziah is indeed [censored]!
