A book isn't translucent, it's opaque.

A transparent object allows most of the light to pass through it allowing us to see through clearly through it.

A translucent object allows some of the light to pass through it allowing us to see through it to a limited extent.

An opaque object allows no light to pass through it and does not allow us to see through it at all.

A translucent object is something that you can see through, but not completely. When light hits a translucent object, the light is scattered, meaning only some of the light passed through.
