Where to draw the line?

Personally, I think you draw the line wherever the heck you please. It's
your hotel, and no one's business what you think is appropriate to stock in
a room or not. I doubt even the Gideon's get used much at all, especially
at a place like yours (just how many soul-searching lost sheep wind up
crashing at your pad, looking for guidance in the form of a book?).

If you do wind up with the urge to diversify (and why not?), I think the
solution is not to stock each room with multiple texts, but to rather stock
no room with any text, and provide some sort of reading room or library
where copies of a variety of interesting texts can be found. Religious
material of all sorts, whether Christian, Jewish, Muslim, or Aviation, would
be perfectly appropriate.

I like that idea. We already have a library for our guests to use (See
http://alexisparkinn.com/aviation_library.htm ) and it wouldn't be hard
to stock a few religious texts.

Not that anyone has ever asked for this, quite frankly. But I've
found it's best to be ready for these things *before* they hit me in
the face.
