Books smell … musty and rich. The knowledge gained from a computer … it has no … no texture, no context. It’s there and then it's gone. If its to last, then the getting of knowledge should be tangible. It should be smelly.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Books.
Huh.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Yay. I care not about the name.
When do we want to start gathering suggestions?

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
I think first we're going to do some naming?
Personally, I liked the "One Book" tag, and the computers replacing books name.
That's just me.

That works, too! We've really got a plethora of Giles' quotes for future titles.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I like JenP's slug or description or whatever it was.
All the names are good, I don't care which one we go with.
Do we have to decide what sort of books to start with or do we go straight to suggestions?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I think we go straight for suggestions, though I would suggest that we don't try like, "Rememberance of Things Past" right off the bat.
ETA- Smelly and the plug are fine with me.

Yes, how are we going to handle the whole suggestion process. Do we make any ground rules, other than say, it must be written in a language we can all understand and must not cause the proliferation of bunnies if read aloud?
Because, I got one.
