Yep, I agree with that concern. And it'll be very hard to fill any world with appropriate books. That might be something that could be done over time with an online tie-in - from other players who have written books in their worlds about their adventures in game mode X.
DF style games tend to develop good stories anyway, and people post about them on forums and talk to friends about them. Be fun to be able to do that in-game, maybe semi-generated from events as they happen then tweaked by a player.
Maybe "active" bookshelves (that have books with actual content) can have a slight glowing effect to them or something.
