Eww, gross. How can anyone even stand the thought.
That’s MY humble opinion.
Stop,drop, and roll. Who has time to read?
You’re kidding right?
I call my bathroom my private library. In fact it was my restroom reading habit the lead me directly to this site.
I used to buy the Straight Dope books in paperback and keep them in the basket in the bathroom. Each little Q & A was just about the right length for a 5-10 minute sit. (my kids used to call them the Straight Poop) When I got my computer I started looking up newspapers and columnist and voila—that is how I found this lovely message board.
I always read on the bathroom. Almost obsessively. When I feel mother nature call, I hunt around for something to bring in to read. If there’s no time for that, I resort to my much loved Uncle John’s Bathroom Reader or even the shampoo, etc bottles.
OK, I went through the thread Geobabe linked to, and I must say that I just about never have to “wait for something to happen.” I suppose I should count my blessings.
yep, gotta read. what else are ya to do? stare at the cat?
I have never read in the bathroom, not even once. If I don’t need to be in there right at that moment, then I don’t go in. I don’t go in there early and wait to see what happens. If I’m spending a lot of time there, it’s because I’m sick, and not really in the mood to be reading anyway.
During my teen years my mother’s sister had some problems with my uncle, so she and her two daughters moved in with my family. I learned then that if you want to get any reading done in a family with five women, the bathroom is the only place of privacy.
I also learned how to read very fast.

i cant understand how anyone can sit on the toilet reading with shit stuck to their arse.
[grandpa]At my age you’re lucky if you can get enough to come out to stick to your ass![/granpa]
I have irritable bowel, so when I go, I’m going to there for a while, and it gets kind of boring staring at the walls and towels, so reading helps take my mind off things.
Yep. Niobium Knight pretty much sums it up for me as well.
Can’t think of much else to do. What, we should close our eyes and think of England?
I never read on the toilet. I go in the bathroom to go to the bathroom, not to read. I can read any other time.
:eek:
You mean, there are people who don’t read in the bathroom!? You just sit there and wait to be done? Reading on the toilet is one of the simple pleasures of life, people!
Your poo sticks to your arse? :eek:
Geez, why do you think The New Yorker is still being published?
This thread is identifying an alarmingly low literacy rate.
In my frat days in Toronto we picked up a tidy pile of reading material from the Chinese and Soviet embassies, put it on a bookshelf in the bathroom, and put a sign on the door: “Bullshit Reading Room”.

Yours is Teflon coated? Of course poo sticks to arse. Hence tolet paper. I don’t think he was referring to his entire arse though if that was what you were getting at.
