Amusing tidbits about Gideon bibles, loot left in hotel rooms, and money and notes left in books.

I'm reminded of one of my former colleagues, who said he wanted to go to bookstores and place notes in copies of "Infinite Jest" at page, like, 800. The note would say, "If you actually read this far, please tell me why" and include his phone number.

Last time I took a cookbook out of the library, I found a flyer from the local grocery store strike, begging customers not to shop at Albertsons. I guess the last borrower broke a picket line to buy her ingredients.

Ever find anything interesting in a book? Or a hotel room, for that matter? Drop a comment.
