So, if you want to read in DayZ you're going to want to find something to read. Step 1 is to find a book. You can find them in residential and civilian areas in the game and there are 150 different books that you can find.

Once you find a book, reading it is the easy part. Drag the book from where you found it to your toolbar. After that, go to the slot you put your book in (by pressing the number of what slot your book's in) and a book should pop up! Press shift to bring up the numbers of the pages and the controls to turn the pages Most books are really long. The book that I used for this guide was almost 500 pages!
That's my guide for reading a book in DayZ. If you found it helpful please like it and add it to your favorites so you don't lose it!

Enjoy this very obscure method of reading,
