Lonely Mechanic #3

Derivative of Leonard’s first lonely mechanic. It’s trivial to generate a random book result, using a bag of letter tiles, a few d10s and the Library of Congress classification system (which most college libraries use). I’m not thinking here of any serious game, more like a meme-style thing you could do with your friends in a big library. What can you do with completely random, very specific book results? (Assuming you just take the closest neighbor to whatever number you rolled, not the exact number itself.)
