The attempts at making the problem easier completely miss the point of what makes it hard (for some people) to answer this kind of question. I do not associate books I read with the concept of a book, so there are no associations to follow so this kind of open question has a high chance of causing my mind to go completely blank.
As somebody in that twitter thread said:

I find it much easier to talk about a reasonably scoped a topic where I have strong links between the facts I know about it.
