Hyatt's Andaz Liverpool Street Hotel has just instituted what is possibly the hotel world's cheekiest service yet: bedtime story house calls. For commitment-phobes, mama's boys, lonely travelers, book fetishists, neglectful parents, or literary-minded singletons, Andaz Hotel may have just what the doctor ordered.
For the next two weeks, sprightly writer Damien Barr will read to hotel guests in the comfort of their hotel rooms. No books are off limits, including racy ones, although Barr notes that "security is always on standby." A former writer-in-residence at London's College of Art, he claims he came up with the Reader-in-Residence concept to "get out of writing."

Sounds like this guy is selfish - first trying to "get out of writing".. and now he's not providing this "service" for the good of his 'customers,' but rather for his own sake - publicity.
