To attempt to answer your question, Mr. Coon...
I think that "cook all your books" is referring to the line before it that says "'I hated everyone.' said the sun". I think that the sun, because it hates everyone, decided to "cook" or burn all of the books and by that I think that the sun is saying that he does not want us to have the pleasure of reading and educating ourselves in order to improve ourselves as a race. I may be reading WAY too far into this, but that is what I got from that line. Just an idea.

Could be—there’s also an expression about “cooking the books” which means to falsify accounting records in order to fool the auditors into thinking everything is OK when in fact someone within a company has been stealing or hiding money.
Thanks for thinking about it and getting back to me.
