No. There's nothing you can do to make a guaranteed good effect.

Yes, use a torch.

Nice attempt.

Afaik, no.

If you mean the bookcase: If you use the torch on it you get a ton of stress. If you don't use anything you have 1/4 chance of nothing, 1/4 chance of scouting, 1/4 chance of a large stress hit and 1/4 chance of a 2/3 positive quitk, 1/3 negative quirk.

If you mean just books: torch you go mad, and everything else is bad except a 1/4 chance of a positive quirk.

Oh, and the scouting from curios was bugged last time I checked, so they're both best avioided I feel.

EDIT: Is there an up-to-date list of all the interactions? The wiki I'm looking at seems to not have been updated in while.

Well, you can always stack up Virtue quirks and trinkets, use a torch on the pile of books and hope for the best.

[Xlomblie_Wheizard]

Basically, just ignore bookcases & stacks of books completely. It's not worth it. Tiny chance for a decent effect, huge chance for negative, no way to force them to be good.

Scrolls on the other hand...

[56cool7]

yeah i know i can use them to remove bad quirks with a torch

First time I burned the book pile I did it unknowingly and it was with a guy about to lose his rocks. He gained tons of stress and became Focused. Best mistake in my life.

More like that ignorance can be bliss, which is why stifling curiosity from your characters is almost mandatory.
