I think current scroll distribution does not fit the book. For example, if scrolls of curse foo and remove curse are in, it would be optimal to read the book indefinitely until all of your items are uncursed. Scrolls of id don't fit either - a bit silly to use an id scroll for an id scroll. In case you need identification, the former tactic is also great - you either id stuff, curse it or uncurse it, so read the book until you id everything. Same with amnesia, recharging, etc. Really, one could grind such a book to get all the beneficial effects from it, as torment cannot kill a char when there are no monsters around. Bad effect such as a possible stat drain would fix it, but then i don't wanna spend my id scrolls just to find that scroll of blinking, when odds are I will get some either crap scroll or a totally irrelevant one.
