I have a script that can be used to produce a selection of ten random books by creating a search filter of the form "id:x or id:y or id:z" etc.

In order to do this the script generates a count of all my unread books then generates 10 random numbers and executes a number of queries with the LIMIT 1 clause to select a random book (excluding certain criteria such as custom columns and tags).

I am aware of the read random book feature but I wanted something a little different.
