At least all the history of the silmarrilion is already there and also Bilbos diary already exists. Not that hobbits are interrested in something else than food. Perhaps some of the educated or nosy ones are.

I'd like the idea of having written books like the suggested, it would add some flavor to the mod, but I think it would not be quite fitting in the hobbit houses. Perhaps some books with old lore in the elven houses or some books of handicraft in dwaven houses would be more appropriate. That's a good point, but I disagree with you on where they should spawn. While it's true that not many hobbits were interested in reading, some, (like bilbo for instance) enjoyed it. Maybe most houses just have hobbit songs and poems, and there is a rare chance that they have actual literature? I do think what you said about the elves and dwarves is a good idea though. Maybe also in gondor, because if you remember, gandalf rode to minas tirith to research the ring.
