Hyatt Andaz's 'Reader in Residence' Starts on Monday

Where: 40 Liverpool Street, London, United Kingdom, EC2M 7QN

Reading can sometimes act like a drug-free equivalent to Lunesta, which can be a problem if you fashion yourself a literary type. Which is why we were so excited when Hyatt Andaz London first announced a "reader in residence."

The free service, provided by freelance journalist Damian Barr, begins Monday and lasts for two weeks. The book of choice is entirely up to your discretion, or indiscretion.

"If somebody was perhaps responding to the reading in a way that was inappropriate, I would try to stay in the safe confines of my armchair," Barr told USA Today. "And hotel security is always on standby."

After his two weeks are up, Barr will be available by phone to hotel guests for what he called "bibliotherapy."
