          Description

          ===========

          When you open a book in the game, the text "~(Read)" is added to the front of the book's name. This does two things.

          First, it tells you which books you have already read.

          Second, all books you have read will be sorted to the bottom of your inventory.

          Q: What effect does this mod have on quest books?

          A: The book will have "~(Read)" added to the front of the name after you read it. Otherwise, the book will behave exactly as it is supposed to.

          Q: How about spell tomes?

          A: Spell tomes will be marked as read when you click on and get the spell from them. This can help you know which spells you've already learned.

          Q: Skill books?

          A: The book will be marked and you will acquire the skill point from that book.

          Q: And books from other mods?

          A: This mod will treat them in the same way as books in the base game. They will be marked as read and other effects of that book will still happen as noted above. This includes books added by any of Bethesda's DLC.

          Q: Does this mod mark books that I've already read before installing?

          A: From version 1. 2. 0, it will but only the first time after a clean save or loading a save that didn't have the mod.

          Translations

          ===========

          My mod has the following languages integrated and will select the correct one based on the game's language:

          • []English

            []French

            []German

            []Italian

            []Russian

            []Spanish

            If you are interested in helping or simply want this mod in other languages, please send me a message. Please note that I only understand English and so please try to use English if possible in your communications with me.

            Future plans

            ============

            I am planning on adding integration with MCM that will add some configuration options for my mod. I have no timeline for this fe
