If Scholasticus is your main <a href=\"https:\/\/cravebooks.com\/book-dragon\">book dragon type<\/a>, you are likely in your joy right now. Who is Scholasticus the Erudite and how do we feed this highbrow book dragon?<\/p>\n<h2>First, What Is a Book Dragon?<\/h2>\n<p>We&#8217;ve been talking about book dragons for several months now at CraveBooks, but in case you&#8217;re new here or you missed it, let&#8217;s clarify what a book dragon is. Basically, a book dragon is a book worm on steroids: a devout reader who hoards and devours books. So far, we&#8217;ve discovered and identified eight types of book dragons in the wild:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Scholasticus the Erudite<\/li>\n<li>Amoria the Passionate<\/li>\n<li>Enigma the Sleuth<\/li>\n<li>Eternalis the Youthful<\/li>\n<li>Nebula the Dreamweaver<\/li>\n<li>Zephyrix the Leisurely<\/li>\n<li>Bibliotheca the Collector<\/li>\n<li>Voracioth the Insatiable<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There&#8217;s likely at least a little bit of several or all of these book dragons in each of us who love to read, but we tend to connect with a primary type. Others may show up in us at various times throughout the year or in our lives, depending on our changing needs and preferences. Keep on reading to see a perfect example: why this is Scholasticus the Erudite&#8217;s favorite time of year.<\/p>\n<p>What kind of book dragon are you?

When this book dragon sits down to read, <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW183838043 BCX0\">it\u2019s<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW183838043 BCX0\"> not to escape. For Scholasticus, enlightenment is more important than <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW183838043 BCX0\">entertainment.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>As its name indicates, gaining knowledge and wisdom is this book dragon&#8217;s main goal for buying and reading books. The knowledge doesn&#8217;t always need to be useful, but you never know when it might come in handy. At this time of year, though, reading has a specific purpose: learning and developing skills to be better at something.<\/p>\n<p>A good majority of us has at least considered reading some non-fiction this month to help us improve something in our lives, whether personally or professionally. As we grab books about improving our health, organizing our clutter, being better communicators, developing a new skill for our career, and getting our lives in order, we&#8217;re bringing out the Scholasticus that resides in each of us.<\/p>\n<p>Scholasticus loves seeing others learning and improving themselves through books, so this dragon soars the skies with joy and excitement every January. It&#8217;s the one time of year they might enjoy book clubs, because they&#8217;re passionate about diving deep into meaningful conversations about books (depending on the book, of course). If this sounds like you, you might be a Scholasticus the Erudite.<\/p>\n<h2>What to Feed Scholasticus<\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"TextRun SCXW183838043 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"auto\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW183838043 BCX0\">This is the dragon of self-help, self-improvement, and how-to, and those are exactly the books to feed it.
