People may treat you differently if they become aware that a copy of this book is part of your home library, but strangely not always for the worse...

Around 1941 Nazi secret police broke into the Parisian abode of playwright (and Resistance member) Samuel Beckett, correctly suspecting him of plotting to undermine the Occupying agents, soldiers and the Vichy government.

Not finding him at home, they went through his papers, drafts, notes and books hoping to find clues and hints confirming their hunches about his character. Finally, after rifling through all his stuff and not coming across any bloody gloves, so to speak, among works of literature on his bookshelf they were surprised to find a copy of Mein Kampf. Figuring that they had misjudged the ideological temperment of a loyal National Socialist, they returned everything to order, departed and crossed Beckett's name off a list of suspected Resistance members.

It wasn't until years later that he learned how close he had come to being apprehended that day.
