I have to agree with #6. It’s not required anymore but enough people get recomended it out of interest that it’s not quite obscure yet. Plus having the title on the book helps serve as a reminder.

Yeah I didn’t notice the writing on the book when I posted that, but then you also have to assume that at a first glance most people won’t and it does look like a bug reading a book, so I still stick by the obscurity thing, obscure is good though.
