Authors; yes.
For me it would be books that encourage or promote something I find morally reprehensible. The root would really still be the author(s), but I would have a problem with the book as well and wouldn't want to contribute to someone else finding something that I think is wrong.

It would take a lot to do that though. There are many books that feature things I find morally reprehensible that I really enjoy, it is the encouragement or promotion of those things that I have an issue with. If someone wrote a (serious) book on the joys of cannibalism, I would have a problem with it. If a book has contains information about or characters that are cannibals in it but does not actively encourage the reader to participate in cannibalism, I wouldn't have a problem with it.
