        @michelestrider I can think of four:
        1. Serious—Moby Dick
        2. Somewhat serious—Candide
        3. Maybe a joke—the Odyssey
        4. Definitely a joke—Catcher in the Rye

                                @michelestrider Sears Roebuck catalogue from the early 1900s. (Just because they're extremely interesting to look at, and hotels are usually boring.)
