gollark: Wait, that book is popular so people actually know about it, what vaguely ridiculously esoteric books have I read...
gollark: Er. Hmm. Rincewind?
gollark: Imagine: someone tells you "yes I really like [CHARACTER] or [EVENT]". If you have no idea what book they're from or any idea about it, you may have to embarrass yourself and say you don't know! But with a way to search all books ever (okay, you can't do that with just public domain ones however bees) you can have vague surface level knowledge of something on demand!
gollark: I'm aware of that, but they don't have a convenient search thing.
gollark: Idea: download all public domain books and index them for search such that people can conveniently look up things on demand and appear to have read and know about them, for pretension purposes
