Heh :) yeah, a Gideon Bible would work well, however they're diversifying
Bible versions, so you'd now have to find either NASB or NLT.  The classic
Gideon Bible is in the NASB (New American Standard Bible) while the new one
which they think is easier to read is the NLT (New Living Translation).  But,
yeah, they are just about everywhere a hotel is.
