One bathroom has Skeleton Crew, Stephen King, and the other has Four Past Midnight, Stephen King. Re-reads both…
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.
Bulfinch’s Mythology
The Petersen Guide to Edible Wild Plants
Some book on making curtains I just got, can’t remember the name.
We stock the WC magazine rack with science magazines and alumni newsletters.
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.
‘Our Dumb Century’ by The Onion Folks & ‘Dont Sweat the Small Stuff’ by some physcologist type.
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.
National Review, the Oregoonian, LiPo and TuFu
National Geographic, Guitar Player, Cooking Light, and Runner’s World magazines.
Usually, the current Wired, the second to current Newsweek, and a couple of Server/Workstation Experts (formerly SunExpert). I don’t read books in there, I don’t stay long enough to get seriously involved in my reading. [sub]Well, I have, but my feet go numb and I can’t stand up.[/sub]
