Tangentially, that reminds me of the copy of Anthony Burgess' Napoleon Symphony that was circulated among my entire friend group in college, mostly because the spine had a half-image of Napoleon on it that would stare into your soul no matter where in the room you put the book and no one wanted to keep it. I think we eventually packed it off with a friend who was studying abroad. (That was more of a "cursed object" situation, though.)
