I found the same problem, so I cataloged all of the books in the Library of Congress on archive.org, music, pictures, Project Gutenberg and created this: https://www.locserendipity.com

the random selections button is my favorite part. It's like picking things up in a disorganized pile at a used bookstore

nothing curated, nothing directing you toward a particular book other than the title

it gives you a chance to reckon with something that's not for you, to actually stumble upon something and try to reckon with it as you find it
