What else is there to do in there? I mean, there’s the original errand, but that doesn’t take a lot of intellectual activity to accomplish. Besides, for a book addict like me, there simply is no bad place to read.
My child loves reading on the loo. Unfortunatly his favourite book for that location is “1000 worst jokes ever” and he keeps the door open and he reads them TO me and I am expected to answer! Nothing worse then cooking dinner while answering knock knock jokes to someone pooping!
Heh, heh I got you all to think! To discuss. To SHARE. I am so cool. Really. I am. I do NOT savor the aroma whilst sitting on the pot, as that ONE fellow suggested… ahem! If you are like me, my fellow loo reading types, then you must become so involved in the reading of loo material that everything else disappears… even… Time… itself! Small, small RHPS reference. Don’t even ask me, “What is RHPS?” because I will hurt you. I will. Yes.
Eating dinner while…? 
p.s. Knock knock
Who’s there?
Panther
Panther who?
Panther no panths, I’m going thwimming!
Knock knock
Who’s there?
Havta
Havta who?
Havta hurt js_africanus now!
Yeah; I sometimes bring my practice pad in there and work on rudiments, especially if it’s going to be a while.
Oddly enough, most of my major advances in technique came about while I was in the W.C.
Wasn’t there someone who posted about playing a game on the Net in voicechat, and one of the players decided to go to the loo in between while keeping up the chat and broke his laptop?
I normally don’t read while in the smallest room in the house but if I am reading something particularly interesting I will take it in with me.
BTW, welcome to the boards SanguineSpider.
Thank you, thank you… I’ll be here all week! (waits for applause to die down to a muted roar) But seriously, thanks for the welcome. Tis a strange and wonderfully frightening place to be, this message board. I tremble nervously as I click on this topic over here or that thread over there. It’s overwhelming the wit I’ve found (the spider story really got me, sorry man, it was FUNNY!) and knowing I’m not the only freak: priceless…
neutron star beat me to the pun.
Sometimes I read while on the toilet. But I don’t really take Uncle John in there. (note for all you perverts out there: this does not mean what you think it means) My friend Eric thinks those things should only be read in the bathroom, and jokingly scolds me every time he sees me reading them in places other than the bathroom. (restaurants, the church balcony during those LONG AGMs, my apartment, etc.)
Although there was a time last year when someone said they had visions of me posting whilst on the loo… I definitely do not do that. 
P.S. What the heck is a 1920’s-style death ray? I know there was a thread on it very recently… can’t seem to find it now, though.

Of course I do. And not only do I read while “dropping a deuce” (thanks SlickRoenick for that one), I also read while urinating standing up – year of training at my mother’s house where the Book Review was stored on top of the toilet tank have made me require reading material even for those brief moments I spend standing in front of the throne as well as sitting on it.
Hell, I’ve read whole novels on the toilet.
I play my Gameboy advance on the terlit!
For Flamsterette_X: the 1920’s style death ray thread.
If I don’t bring a book or magazine in with me , I find myself reading the labels on all the products within my reach. And I mean the whole labels. So, I try to remember to bring something interesting in with me. I’m a girl, by the way, if that matters.
roley (can I call you that?) you must be related to my son… he eats, sleeps, poops everything with his Game boy.
Of course I read on the pot. Why on Earth should I take my attention away from a fascinating passage just to answer the call of nature. And I mentioned in another thread floating around on the same subject: My hubbby frequently reads till his feet go numb. Yeah I have had to run in and help him stand for a few minutes:rolleyes: I am thinking sainthood here…
Of curse I read on the toilet.
I read while I walk to work.
I read wherever I am.
The biggest drawback to getting a car is that it has seriously cut down on my reading.

I Like rolandwhoreslinger better:D but you can call me roley
Oh yeah, I remember that thread. It made me lol
