How report book royalties not earned as part of a business enterprise?

I have royalty income from a book. I received a 1099-MISC. When I enter the 1099 information, I am prompted whether it is related to a business or investment. It's neither. I am a professor employed by a university. The book was written in conjunction with that job, but is not a job requirement. When I selected business, it asks me for my business name, etc. to fill out schedule C. I don't have a business, so I cannot answer any of these questions. Where can I actually report this income?
