I don't know about the beer mug but it is entirely possible he keeps a
copy around AND hasn't read it. He could have read or heard a
shortened version of the ideas in the book and liked it enough to get
a copy.  I know I've bought a few books over the years fully intending
to read it and never getting around to it. 

Though my one big bear that I couldn't bring myself to buy after
trying to read it back in college from the library was Alfred
Korzybski's book, Science and Sanity: An Introduction to
Non-Aristotelian Systems and General Semantics (1933). It formed the
basis behind a few of Andre Norton's science fiction books and is the
most difficult read I've ever attempted.
