Simply post a similar snapshot of a similar number of books (not encyclopedias/ae), and ask viewers if they have any memories or comments on the authors, or on the books. Or cats.
Truthfully, I always figured it was a lame attempt to capitalize on Lovecraft so I never even tried it. I actually had an argument with a guy about that book, he thought it was the one Lovecraft wrote about.
That’s also a new Niven book I don’t have, A Gift From Earth. I’m gonna have to get that.

Navin R. Johnson – “The Jerk”
Hey – Niven is right above the cat!
Cat: “Sorry. I thought this was litter-ature.”
Well, here’s an idea for a future Walrus post:

Glad I’m going on vacation.
Did I ever tell you about the time I read that cat?
The cat Who Could Walk Through Books.
I haven’t read the Necronomicon, is it any good?
