i'm having a problem w/ the bookworm i can't get him to say anything but "hands off the goods" or whatever it is if anyone has some helpful tips please let me know also, my game keeps freezing every time i get sent into the catacombs is there any way to keep it from doin that please help J

got this off of a FAQ website.

I can't get the bookworm to talk to me. All he does is tell me to stop touching the books. What's up with that?
If you encounter this problem, you've missed a step somewhere in the game. As I said previously, make sure you've done absolutely every step in the game up to this point, and the bookworm will tell you to find something interesting.
