You don't just read books, you tear into them. Damaged books you pick up become blank magazines, which you can use to copy your existing skill magazines at a workbench (or convert blank magazines back to books).— In-game description

Voracious Reader is a perk in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Lonesome Road.

Effects[]

Taking this perk grants the ability for any damaged books placed in the inventory to automatically be turned into blank magazines, which can then be used at the workbench to create a copy of any skill magazine (having at least one copy of the desired magazine beforehand), at a rate of 2 blank magazines and 1 wonderglue per skill magazine.

Notes[]

  • The perk can make the process of creating skill books via the one-time-use skill book recipes from the Old World Blues add-on slightly more involved.
    • A damaged book would normally stay in the player character's inventory and could be given to the Book Chute in the Sink directly. With this perk, damaged books are converted into blank magazines upon pickup.
    • To use them to create skill books on the other hand, blank magazines must be further converted into pre-War books at a workbench (at a rate of 1 book from 1 magazine) so that the Book Chute can then convert them into blank books for use in the recipe.
  • Picking up undamaged pre-War books will not convert them into magazines.
  • The perk pairs well with Comprehension and Retention as a reliable way to acquire multiple copies of specific skill magazines.
