There are now a ton of shelves in game that look like there are books in them. Why not play off this feature to be more convient and save visual space in homes? Currently when you right click a book in your own home it gives these options:[Book Title Here] - Allows you to read the book in a page by page format.ExamineMovePickupWhy not have any bookcase that already has the visual appearance of having books in it be able to "store books". Each time you add a pick it adds a name to the list when you right click the bookshelf itself.So under this format you would have something like this if you right click a shelf in your home...[Book Title Here] - Allows you to read the book in a page by page format.[Book Title Here] - Allows you to read the book in a page by page format.[Book Title Here] - Allows you to read the book in a page by page format.[Book Title Here] - Allows you to read the book in a page by page format. Examine Move PickupYou get the picture....you can limit the amount if you like to 15 so that the task menu isn't horribly long. OR have an option that says "Read a book" - and when you click that it makes a scrollable window with upto 50 books that you can read.I'm gonna /feedback this too.

I think I get what you mean.

You take bookshelves such as the Large Mahogony Bookshelf, and add a Broker slot like option to place your books in. Then you just click on the shelf, then click on the title.....

...I like my library much better the way it is. 270++ books all stacked neatly next to each other on 3 Large Oak Tables for everyone to read as they please.

Why not just invent the index? Keep placing books around the house as you wish, but you hae one more house item, The Index. Right click pulls a list of all the books in the house and lets you read from there.

I like both ideas, one could be a bookcase or shelf or whatever made by carpenters that acts like a container. The only downside is remembering which one the book you want is in...The other seems more practical since, well, I, like to put books on mantles, on the stairs... etc... It could act like a market BB, only look like a status poster hanging on your wall that would be an alphabetical list of all the books around your house.Make it sellable by the housing NPCs and there ya go.
