I have a friend in the UK who’s dad , if he finds out that you read on the toilet will GRAB the material (whether you are in the can or not, I am not sure), take it outside and BURN it.
Naturally, this amused my husband and myself greatly, as we are voracious readers in the bathroom. And we can pet the dog too at the same time.
Sometimes, both kids are in there too, brushing their teeth.
I call it quality family time, multitasking.
Y’know, when I was a kid I seriously thought that Reader’s Digest was so named because you kept it in the bathroom.
I don’t do any serious reading in the bathroom, but I do keep cartoon books in there - several Far Side collections, and a 70s-era book of George Booth cartoons (he draws the “New Yorker Dog”).
Oh, and catalogues, absolutely! The more overpriced the better, like Frontgate with their $8,500 barbecue grills, or the $80 cake tins in Chefs. If that doesn’t just make you wanna take a dump, nothing will.
Hello, my name is whatami and…(sniffle)…I’m a toilet reader! There, I’ve said it!
Hey, I’ll tell ya what. There is nothing better than taking a nice long poo with a good book or magazine. Sometimes I’ll get into the book too much and my legs will fall asleep…(this is probably too much information)
