You know what would be cool, a Library you could visit on one of the planets. That way you could click on what ever book your interested in in the game and read it. It would just be fun to have the ability to take a peek at any book and see what's inside.

I'd be ok with this but only for the non-recipe books. People pay a lot for some of the ultra-rare recipe books (and the items you can make using those recipes). We're not even supposed to publicly share the information in those books (see my question tle="books" href="http://www.rescreatu.com/forum/cat/feedback/support/just-curious2/~page/1/">here and the answer).

And also if reading them was only for fun and didn't increase your pet's intelligence stat. I think people should still read the actual book to their pet for that to happen.

I agree. Only books that don't give away recipes.
