Ok, that's not really the fun fact.

 

The fun fact is that as you find books in the game, copies will get "unlocked" in the Caed Nua library. Find all the books, they will be on your shelves. 

 

If you're reading this, nice touch, Tim!

That is great news! I mentioned something about adding that feature back some time a go in this thread  http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/77215-books-organize-in-inventory-or-stronghold-library/  Was it patched in recently or had this already been there and I didn't realize it.

 

 

I was finding new books before I downloaded any of the patches.

 

Quick update: Reading the book isn't sufficient; it must hit your inventory (Stash counts) in order to unlock in the Library. 

 

Hopefully this means there aren't any steal-only books in the game :(

As far as I can tell, even in areas with steals, books don't count - you can happily take all the books from peoples' homes/offices/temples and nobody blinks.

(Can't be sure though - just don't remember seeing books in a 'thief-icon' box)

I've seen lots of books in 'thief-icon' containers. And that's been enough to keep me from trying to take them, however that doesn't mean that books won't count as a theft (though that would seem to defeat the purpose of having the warning). Sounds like more testing may be in order. :)

Well, I'm playing a rogue in this playthrough and he can't resist so I'll give it a try ;)

99% of the bookshelves in Temple of Wael are marked thusly. Should provide a good starting point if nothing else.

Confirmed that books count as stolen if taken from a thief-icon container.

Not sure if there are any unique books under such conditions.
