The only answer here is to print out a bunch of QR stickers pointing to the website of the [Flying Spaghetti Monster](https://www.spaghettimonster.org/) and stick one inside every drawer.
Ramen.

In case you’re on a long stay and want a fanfic sequel?

Need to get a copy of William Shatner’s TekWar into every room instead.

I could not give a shit. If it makes some people happy then good for them.

Have you checked every room

The Shelbourne is a Marriott and the guy who founded Marriott was Mormon so every one of their hotels has them

For those who don’t know, **all** Marriott hotels (except China) offer a copy of the Book of Mormon in every room alongside the Gideon’s Bible as the founder of the Marriott group is Mormon.

I love that musical!

Why is your friend going into every room in the hotel and checking drawers?
Significant-Roll-138 on
How many rooms has your friend booked?

Whats the problem?

The Shelbourne is operated by the Marriot group. They’re Mormons, you’ll often find the Book of Mormon in their places.

You don’t have to read them if you don’t want to. I don’t.

Study material for the Book of Mormon touring cast in the Bord Gais next year

My husband and I like to play “Bible or no Bible” wherever we stay at accommodation and we guess before opening the drawer if there is a Bible. It’s actually surprising how common they still are.

The relationship between the Book of Mormon and The Bible is similar to that of 50 Shades of Gray and Twilight.

The owners the Marriott’s and are from the church of Mormons.

If I ever stay somewhere that has the Book of G’Quan or the Teachings of Kahless in the drawer, now that’ll get a top review.

The Book of Mormon is a bit more unusual, but a Gideon Bible in a hotel desk drawer is a very classic thing. I’m surprised you haven’t heard of it before. It’s even in [a Beatles song](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sDcDCZGcZj8):

checked into his room
only to find Gideon’s Bible.
The hotel doesn’t buy them or anything. There’s a group called the Gideons and their whole mission is to print Bibles and go around the world putting them in places where people will find them, such as hotel rooms. If you look at the front there’ll be an index of passages they think will bring solace to people experiencing different kinds of crisis. I think it’s well-intentioned, as religious proselytising goes. They’re not like scientologists trying to worm into your life, they don’t recruit for a particular church.

Would leave ‘The Book of Cunnilingus’ right in there beside them.

In a pinch, bible pages make decent stand-in Rizlas. I recommend the book of Revelations.
