Can I read the Oghma Infinium again?

I heard that one can read the Oghma Infinium more than once. How do I do that?

Check YouTube so you don't mess it up, but basically:

1) Place it on a bookshelf.
2) Remove it from the bookshelf - select "Do not read."
3) Activate bookshelf.
4) Read it from your inventory - select your path.
5) Place it on a bookshelf.

Then start with 2 again.

Edit: I haven't tried it since the 1.4 patch, but, as I understand it, the loop still works.

Yuuup I was messing around with it a couple nights ago thanks to someone's post on here.

Activate bookshelf, read from inventory, place on shelf, click on the book (not shelf), do not read and take, start over.

Well - for kicks, i tried to read it again, since it was still on my bookshelf, and it does nothing.... (on xbox). When I pull it off the shelf there is no option in the book anymore. I really don't mind, I'll just have to wait to get my enchanting up to 100.... My character holds his own actually quite well as it is...

I just tried on PS3 and it still works (did it twice). After I did it I reverted back to my save right before because I've already done it enough on, but it worked fine. :P

The read it again event must be set up first exactly as described in post #7. It does work. Go back to a save prior to your first reading to set it up.

Well, the instructions are a bit vague. I work in a lab so precision is a niggling point with me. Though I hate typing as well, and I presume folks feel others will think and understand what they mean...

Activate bookshelf, read from inventory(now - is this the Bookshelf inventory, or the character) place on shelf (this seems to suggest that I took the book, but I am not sure), click on the book (not shelf), do not read and take, start over.

is it:

Activate bookshelf
While book is on shelf - read, do not take (at this point i believe to book has no options for me to select)
close book - return to shelf
open book from shelf do not take - select do not read....

...just sayin.... I'll have to look at you tube for the 'repeat read' version - a picture is worth a thousand words!

Thanks!

First off- save first.

Starting with the book in YOUR inventory (if it is on a shelf, pick it up first, and select "Do No Read" to get it into your inventory) :
Activate a boookshelf that you own
In your inventory, find the book and select "read"
choose whichever school you want to raise.
place the book on the shelf.
exit the shelf
If you are going to use it again, select read to pick it up, and again choose "Do Not Read".
Start again with the first step.
