List of Books
I'm thinking it would be nice to see a more approachable list of all 150 books, possibly separate from the main Books article. It could have a thumbnail picture layout similar to something like the Equipment page, and I would think it most appropriate to organize by genre (Fiction, Non-Fiction, Poetry, etc.). Any thoughts? --Tatanko (talk) 13:31, 4 April 2017 (UTC)

This sounds like a very good idea. Is it possible to add some option of an filter? Like filtering it after genre or by writer. TeriyakiAsthma (talk) 17:44, 4 April 2017 (UTC)


 * I suppose that depends upon how we wish to list the books. If we make a table, it can be sort-able, but if we go with a grid of thumbnail pictures (like Equipment, for example) then we would have to simply organize the books into categories on the page... or, we can do both. --Tatanko (talk) 18:04, 4 April 2017 (UTC)

Configuration Data
I went through the configuration file for the game's books, and there are currently only 145 that are actually configured and theoretically spawning. I removed 5 from the appropriate lists that are not part of that 145. Those that I removed are actually included as HTML files within the game, but they are not presently set up as book items that can be spawned and collected by players.

From what I can see, there are actually a whopping 18 books and poems included in the game files that aren't configured game items. Things like Huckleberry Finn, Pang Huang, Through the Looking Glass, and more. Even more curious, it seems that some may even have corresponding models and/or skins that other players found at one point. --Tatanko (talk) 12:28, 17 April 2017 (UTC)
