If this is the story I think it is, there's lots of detail about the books on the supposedly dead scientist's bookshelves, ranging from astrology & other occult books to all kinds of science, art, folklore, etc. The narrator is exasperated by all the intellectual "white noise." Iirc, it's by Asimov, but I forget the title.
