Hint
In the word LOG, why might the L have be replaced with 50?
Answer
FO10.
Reasoning
If there is a Roman numeral, it is replaced by its modern equivalent.
I = 1
V = 5
X = 10
L = 50
C = 100
D = 500
M = 1000
Double-Checking CLICK = 100 50 1 100 KMILK = 1000 1 50 KLOG = 50 O GLIFE = 50 1 F EALIVE = A 50 1 5 EFOX = F O 10

Can you find the book titles hidden in these phrases?
ROME OR OSLO? ANDREW, JULIE, TO VISIT. WARM TOO FEW, THE SUBWORLD SNEEZES AN I MALL? SHOPS, FAR MALLS? GO NEXT, GO! WITHOUT OTHER I DWINDLE. GO! WATER. SHIP, BOAT. STORM! DOWN RAIN! BRAVERY IN A NEW AGE, WORLD'S HOPE.
For each word in the title, new letters are added of the same length, and then the spacing is changed, and punctuation is added.
For example:
BOOK TITLE
BOOK 1234 TITLE 12345
BOOK NIGH TITLE APTUP
BOOKNIGHTITLEAPTUP
BOO, KNIGHT. IT LEAPT UP!
Reasoning
Each of the other words remains a real word if you remove the first and last letter: s-event-yb-raw-lc-love-rp-rope-rc-arro-t *s-win-ge-merge-dc-raft-yt-rave-ls-acre-ds-ton-ep-lung-e
