Well, as some of you know, Galaranth has Asberger's Syndrome. This in turn makes him somewhat brilliant. He has even exploited that condition through genetic manipulation. So it is fairly common to see him gather a stack of books and sit down in a small corner of some library. Even on vacation, he has a few special haunts where he sits down and reads for a good 4 hours. He can go through 2 large, technical books in that time. He has a burning ambition to learn about all he sees and does; even if he has to read the entire United States Congress Library to do so. Many dragons value gold, many value jewels, most value the lives they encounter, all value a reasonable rate of return on their investment but Galaranth values brainpower and knowledge as his valuable hoard most.
