  i disagree, i think that for every type of skill, reading a book
should only increase your your potential in that skill. this just seems
more logical.

  two ideas :

    - minimium skill limit for a book to be read.
    - skill proportionality - they can read the book, but because they
      dont understand it, they only gain a little but of knoledge from
      it
