having to replace an object with another object of equal weight, in a classic reference to raiders of the lost ark. Though i only remember that happening in Monkey Island 2 and Sam and Max hit the road.

Uninhabited residences.  Hell, uninhabited everything.  Adventuring must be a lonely business.

I also seem to remember something similar in Grim Fandango...
"But with a ninja on your face, you live longer!"

When a book pops up on the screen I just think of it as another type of interface like accessing inventory.

Another cliche is people leaving hints so you can figure out their passwords or combinations to locks.

The passwords also tend to be something meaningful to the person. If it was me, I would just use gibberish with a pattern that I can see.
