Hotel replaces bible with 50 Shades of Grey Jul 25th 2012, 12:49 A hotel in England has replaced in-room bibles with the erotic bestseller "50 Shades of Grey." Instead of the standard Gideon bible, the owner of Damson Dene opted for the steamy novel known for its explicit sexual content because he thought it was the hospitable thing to do. "Because everybody is reading 'Fifty Shades of Grey,' we thought it would be a hospitable thing to do, to have this available for our guests, especially if some of them were a little bit shy about buying it because of its reputation," hotel owner Jonathan Denby told NBC News. "'Fifty Shades of Grey' is all that people are talking about at the moment, but I know that some are too shy to buy it for themselves," hotel manager Wayne Bartholomew told the Daily Mail. "I thought it would be a special treat for our guests to find it in their bedside cabinet and that includes the men too."
