Update: a fan of the site, named Dusan Pavlicek, wrote to me after having created much clearer images of the books (by a process of combining several screen caps, and then cleaning up the ‘noise’ of the image), such that most are either verified or almost within grasp. I’m reluctant to list them yet, as my analyses now link to Kubrick’s other films, and there’s a larger concept at play in this collection of books than I previously realized.
The one that remains a mystery is the one above the doctor’s head, with the red text. It seems to say either Lost Faith or Last Truth, but I can’t find a contemporaneous book by those names. Perhaps I’m not looking hard enough.
I’ll leave up the images that were here before for anyone’s curiosity.
Next literary reference: Playgirl
