        @michelestrider I read once that a collection of Saki's short stories were the best thing to read before bed. Therefore: https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Short-Stories-Vintage-Classics/dp/1784871915

          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.

                                @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!
