Games Puzzles Books and Newspapers

I was thinking that it would be cool to have a game or two within this already awesome game in the form of entertainment that helps to pass the time. Having spent more than one dreary weekend out at the lake cabin growing up, I remember when it was bad weather we would all sit around and read books and do crossword puzzles, maybe even break out a board game. So I go to thinking, would it be possible to make double duty out of the books and newspapers that are so freely scattered about TLD for use for something other than fuel or tinder.

You might not be so quick to burn a book or newspaper if you could actually read it. So you pick up a book or newspaper, one of the option on the inventory screen would be to "read" if it were a book and if it was a newspaper you could do the daily cross word puzzle... It might be an activity that could help pass the time during those days that the weather is poor. otherwise I just end up resting in 12 hour periods back to back until the weather is good enough to venture back outside again.

I'd love it if this became an option. Maybe even books of games we could actually interact with, doing the mazes/ mad libs/ crossword puzzles while we wait for the storm to end. Heck, dropping a deck of cards into the game to allow us to play solitaire could be fun.
