Are you claiming that the FAQ that Nathan wrote is in fact public property
rather than the property of Nathan Mates? What an interesting concept.
If that is true then I suppose that it would be perfectly fine for me
to set up a site to distribute the full text of all my favorite novels
freely to the public.

Of course, I will "reorganize" them by shuffling the chapters around. That
should take care of any legal problems right?

Or did you actually mean that you are going to write your own FAQ from
scratch, without copying Nathan's FAQ?
