Bookstudy Work Type

Description
Adds a new assignable work type: Bookstudy. Colonists will look for studyable books and read to gain skill XP when assigned to this work and when conditions permit. Configure priorities in the Work tab.

Pawns try to roughly study things based on their current assigned priorities, but will fall back to unassigned skills if there are no suitable books.

I got this error on startup:
Exception parsing node <cachedBooks /> into a System.Boolean:
System.FormatException: String was not recognized as a valid Boolean.

Can you add an option to let them study maps? The problem is that my people are always bored of reading, since they read when they go idle, so they will never read the maps on their own.

I think if you added an option to make them follow the reading policy, that would work, since I can set it for maps, or tomes, or schematics, and you would not need a separate setting for each one.

Hm I had that happen in an earlier version of the mod @fleatoad but I thought it was fixed- none of my colonists do it now, so not sure what the issue may be

Is anybody else having this issue or is it conflicting with my other mods. Pawns just seem to pick up a book read for 1 sec and do something else. I just had a pawn stop doing its job to read a book immediately put the book down and go back to the job it was doing.
I had a Library of 30 books and a pawn that was set to only read would just constantly look for another book dumping all the books on the floor even skipping books well with in its skill and job range.

It should yeah, I keep it at lowest priority so that it's the last thing my pawns will do before idle wandering and that works for me, and I also tested it at top priority to make them do it so I could test it

Does it work with the numbered priorities? If you use the numbered priorities setting, does it priorities ones with lower (since 1 is highest priority) values?
