I'm not sure why you want to do this as it will be much less readable than explicitly enumerating the fields. Having said that, I'd recommend you take a look through the public methods for your instance variable (I've never used MongoDB). There's probably an equivalent to 'attribute_names' which returns an array of all column names in an AR model. If you were using AR you could iterate through the array for the 'keys' and use @book['k'] for the values.
