Currently, it’s _Supreme Injustice: How the High Court Hijacked Election 2000,_ alternating with _The Mystery Science Theater 3000 Amazing Colossal Episode Guide_ when I need to lower my blood pressure from reading the former. ---

I usually have a nice little assortment of Uncle John’s Bathroom Readers, but the kids took off with them, and I haven’t bothered hunting them down yet. Right now I have the complete transcripts of the Titanic hearings. I think I’m going to replace it soon. I recently had several science magazines there, but the kids get them soaked when they flood the bathroom, uh, take a bath. ---

The New York Times Book Review! Ooooh, I love that paper. Most reviews are perfect-sized for consumption in one sitting, the type is just right for reading from a standing position, and there’s the little short reviews section for those times when you’ve just got to sit-and-run. ---

I typically try to get in and out, but at the same time like to look at something besides the bathroom door, so I have a selection of light, easy reading: _Our Dumb Century_ - The Onion _Finest Moments in Reporting_ - The Onion (I think it’s caleld that. Whatever the 2nd Onion book is called) _The Big Book of Hoaxes_ _The Big Book of Losers_ _The Big Book of Scandals_ About 4 _Foxtrot_ collections and some assorted lesser comic strip collection books that I bought at the local deep-discount book clearinghouse for about $1 each. ---

Usually, the current _Wired_, the second to current _Newsweek_, and a couple of _Server/Workstation Expert_s (formerly _SunExpert_). I don’t read **books** in there, I don’t stay long enough to get seriously involved in my reading.
