A copy-paste option for huge paragraphs of text

I would really appreciate a copy-paste option for large swaths of text I see on the screen from time to time. I would like to read all the entries to my guidebook and stuff like that, but it's too much for me to just read it on my own. If I were able to copy the text into my text reader, I would have a much better understanding of the game as a whole. I feel like I'm not able to enjoy the game to its full potential, which is a shame, since I really like the game.
