Buried in a pile of books

I want someone's arm coming out of a pile of books. I think dForce might be the way to do that.
How do I get the books to fall naturally without changing shape, just orientation?

Honestly, you'd be best off exporting the posed Daz figure into a program with proper rigid body physics, like Blender, 3DS Max or Cinema4D, running the simulation, then exporting the pile as a single object back into Daz Studio. Even when you're using it for its intended purpose, dForce works at a snail's pace compared to other physics engines, and simulating enough books to constitute a "pile" would be a massive undertaking in DS.
OK, I can do that, I was just hoping for an in-app rigid body solution.
So are a lot of us.
