Default To grab or to take, that is the question

Hello again. Instead of he took the book, I said he grabbed the book. Is this wrong and silly? He is in the library, where he finds a book he eagerly wants to read, and then he grabs it. But is it stupid to grab a book, particularly if you are not in a hurry, since you can just take it? Even if you are a bodybuilder and have strong hands, even then, is it unusual that you grab the book from the shelf? Can I use grab instead of take, regarding the above situation? Hm..
