How it works: every author on the shelves is a spirit; the board spells answers from a word-level Markov chain (order 2, backing off to 1) built over that author's book descriptions and titles, steered toward the words of your question and seeded by the question and today's date, so the same question gets the same answer today. Name one of their books and the spirit recognises it. Ask too much and someone else takes the planchette.
