In this idiom, hit means to start, to begin, to leave, to go. You will find it used this way in several older idioms, such as hit the trail (used by cowboys riding their horses on a trail) and hit the road. With fewer cowboys around these days, this is a contemporary way of saying the same thing. That is, to leave, to go, to begin. Probably from that, to hit the books is to start studying one's books. "It's time for me to turn off my computer and hit the books. I have an examination tomorrow."
