The ability to touch a book to instantly know its content.

Turns out, the books you touch are actually quite satisfied and content.

It only works if you touch it with your penis.

The title of the book appears somewhere on your skin, and if removed you will forget any knowledge from that book, whether you obtained it through reading or your power. The titles must be legible, and cannot overlap.
