Weird books.

For general discussion about the game that doesn't really delve into Mechanics (see the "Mechanics Discussion" section). In Out-of-Character discussion, you are expected to be courteous to others.

You read the book. Or at least attempt to, but it suddenly lurches out of your grasp and flies away, flapping its pages and shrieking incoherently.
My characters (sorted by IDs): Badziew, Tiger Fist, Pilgrim, Sentient Spellbook, a trojan cat.

Question, are all of those in game? If so, are all of those normal books, or are some of them holy/unholy/arcane?

You read the book. All its pages are blank. You learned nothing! You gain 0XP.
Suddenly, the book pages start filling. It describes a character, which somewhat resembles you. The more words that appear, the more it captures you, in aspect and personality.
The book has read you. It learned something! It gains 10 XP.

You read the book. It tells the tale of a programmer who was told to go buy a loaf of bread and, if there were eggs, to buy a dozen. The programmer bought a dozen loaves of bread, for there were eggs. You learned something from the book!
