Here is all of the best of the ideas I posted for books and winds, narrowed down as much as I dared without throwing out the REALLY GOOD ones. This is my FINAL list comprised of the best of everything I thought up. Seven books and fifty winds, though it's not as big as it sounds. NOT listed from best to least. If anybody saw one in my older posts that I threw out that they liked let me know.
I took out the pop culture references, Star Wars references, and ones that make hardly any sense at all regarding winds.

They're all good, but these are great! I really like them!
In the spirit of "tapping the hive mind," I've got a few enigmatic questions for y'all:
-- What sort of book titles do you think could be found on the Voodoo Lady's bookshelf? Y'know, things like "The Joy of Hex," or "Screams of My Father."
-- For reasons that defy explanation, we're trying to enumerate dozens of unique kinds of winds, things like "The Wind the Blows Off Your Hat," or "The Wind that Sounds Remarkably Like an Unhappy Echidna." Can you think of any others?
-- Lastly, what's your pirate name?

Alot of these wind suggestions make me want to cry, but not with laughter. Sorry but there is some awful awful suggestions in here. I guess that's what brain storming is; regurgitated thought spatter.

The wind that blew all the others
The wind so thick, it might actually be a fog
The wind that un-horns cows, bulls and you-know-who
The wind of Oz, more impressive than it really is
The wind of Oz (bis), slow and erratic which suddenly disappear to reveal a stellar blue sky (I wonder if anyone will get this)
The wind which knew no frontier

The indoors wind, summoned only by the most upset of the Elders.
The wind of rain's drop, carrying coolness and relief from an heavy warmth.
The wind with perfect timing, revealing undergarments previously selfishly kept hidden
The wind of gossip, carrying a distorted version of unholy rumors, making them so much more delightful in the process.
My apologies for a such an unecessarily blunt previous reply, some book title suggestions have been excellent and capture the essence of monkey island books perfectly.
I can visualise and hear Guybrush wandering around the voodoo lady's hovel reading with a selection of labelled gas jars all containing various winds.
She should keep the winds in sturdy bags like Aeolus' captured winds; most of the winds that people have suggested would easily escape a jar, but not an a mythological voodoo sack.

Yes. A lot of people have no business doing this kind of thing but apparently think they do (read the insult swordfighting thread if you really want to cry), but that's alright. Unfortunately it makes reading through and finding the gems a hassle.

I hope this one gets into the game; I fear that the developers stopped reviewing this huge list early on: it really would be a pity, because its last pages contain some of the best ones.
