Visual bookshelf? Well you could just do a search for it and it will show up.
Or conversely join the rest of us dedicated forumites in knowing each other's real names on facebook, and I'll send you an invite.

Intriguing. I am pretty lazy... Searching sounds hard. What if I don't have a real name?

Err facebook name? There's also a forum 'rosetta stone' picture, which if you send us your credit card number now, you can be tagged in!
And be notification spammed by because people forget it's not the forum.

That name is so much cooler than my real name I just can't begin to believe it. Stephanie just can't live up to it... I think I may have to change my name now to that, or forever live with feelings of inferiority

Or you could just walk around for the rest of your life with a name tag saying 'Genevieve Isabella Hohenzollern Van de Luftkugel - it's my real name I swear' written on it.

They need to believe that someone that awesome could still exist, it would give them hope for a brighter, utopian future

According to Terry Pratchett if you believe in anything strongly enough it manifests itself as truth. You can't doubt the word of Terry Pratchett, especially in his pre-mind eating disorder years (basically everything before Unseen Academicals)

Yeah what was that element that he always goes on about in his books? Imaginarium or something?

I like Discworld.

However, I am going to say that in this universe specifically, I think that the same rules do not apply.
