I really believe that most sentient weapons get bored between bouts of intense wear and tear. Surely they would welcome something to read during down times.
I happen to have a significant number of tomes that I am not using, and if SSG would be so kind as to allow it, I would be happy to gift them to my weapons for their reading pleasure. At the same time, each tome should increase their intelligence to some degree. This would also increase the available storage space on my primary mule.
See, win-win, and the worlds are a better place.
