If you had the resources, what book would you put in hotels, a la Gideons bibles?

@michelestrider a guide to the region's wildlife

Neal Stephenson ‘In the Beginning Was the Command Line’ -

@michelestrider
Canterbury Tales. In Middle English, preferably. -
@michelestrider Sears Roebuck catalogue from the early 1900s. (Just because they're extremely interesting to look at, and hotels are usually boring.)
The ones which include electrical and radio parts are fascinating.

@michelestrider I think it would be a benefit to have random Goosebumps books.

@michelestrider A book of poems by the current US poet laureate at the time the hotel was built. So if you visit a lot of hotels, you’ll get to see a lot of different poems!

@michelestrider Fun fact, Marriott hotel rooms have a copy of the Book of Mormon in addition to a Bible.
@michelestrider Because the Marriotts are Mormon. ( Not sure how many people not from Utah know this. ) @liferstate

@CatsofArrakis Now that's fun!

I know it's not that shocking but I think a guide to local insects in each region (especially the ants) with cute photos and fun facts would be awesome.
"Meet The Bugs of [insert small town name]"
@futurebird
It's not shocking, but also that's why we love you.

@michelestrider I used to have a copy of the Book of Mormon (never read it, maybe I should have?) and it just had regular-weight paper.
Though I'm told any paper can be a rolling paper if you're desperate enough.

Could go with 10th of December too. George Saunders is 100%%%
Thanks for posing such a nerdy question.
I like it!
