Very very nice. I wish I had enough time over the coming months to put down something solid for this library. As soon as this was mentioned a hundred subjects came up, everything from the "Proper Care and Maintenance of Surgical Instruments" to "A Philosopher's Etiquette: From Greetings to Goodbyes."

I also wanted to create "a hideous volume bound in human skin" in there, no title... but mentioning "the Darkness","a faceless one", "Randall", and
"Providence", a bit of an easter egg.
