	Textbook of confusion:
		upon reading this book, the reader is inmmediately struck 
		as if under the influence of a confusion spell.  he 
		becomes a drooling idiot, with an effective intelligence 
		of 3.  this effect lasts until the reader has an exam in 
		that class.
	Textbook of incomprehensible languages:
		this textbook appears to be normal, although it radiates
		faint alteration magic if detected.  upon opening,
		however, the reader sees it for what it is:  just a jumble
		of letters and words that make no sense.  No sage is able
		to interpret the book, and comprehend languages has no effect.
	Textbook of sleep:
		upon reading this textbook, the reader must save versus 
		spell at a -4 or fall into a deep trance for 2d6 hours.
		this book offers no saving throw the night before an 
		exam.
	Textbook of energy drain:

		reading on page, the reader is exhausted and must sleep for
		1d4+8 hours uninterrupted before he can do anything else.
	Textbook of whoop-ass:
		when the reader opens this textbook, he immediately has 
		his ass whooped.
we have a bunch more cursed items in mind too, and one day we will 
compile an entire list for everyone's viewing enjoyment.  we also have a 
few normal magical textbooks:
	Textbook +1/+2 vs. crawling insects/+3 vs. flying insects/+4 vs 
stinging insects.
	Textbook of comprehension:  This is a unique item rumored to have 
existed thousands of years ago.  it is thought that the reader, upon 
reading this item, will gain full comprehension of the contents.  
however, no mortal creature has ever seen this magnificent item.  it is 
possible it was destroyed during the great uprising of duke professors 
some 1500 years ago.

Hmm, how about:

Textbook of infinite length
	Not only can you never finish this book, but it's an infinite set
	of infinity as each chapter is infinitely long.  Any person who
	attempts to read this book will read for 7d10 time per page.

Textbook of Fuzzy Words
	This textbook always appears blurry to the reader.  The knowledge 
	that it contains is the answer to all life's questions, but the 
	words remain just out-of-focus enough that they can't be made out
	as more than the outlines of words.

Textbook of Bad Humor
	This book attempts to make jokes to the student.  Any person who
	reads this book must make a saving through versus magic at -5.  If
	the person fails, then they are sent into a blubbering coma for 
	4d10 +1d12 (just to use a d12 for something) rounds.

Textbook of Fascination
	People who happen apon this textbook will spend hours reading it in
	utter fascination, yet remember none of it when they are done 
	reading.
