Status: offline 		I like to put books in the bathroom that have short stories, blurbs or articles that people can enjoy in a relatively short period of time. Currently, my favorite book in the bathroom is a book called "Life Laughs" by Jenny McCarthy. It's not designed to provoke deep thought or fuel your intellectual appetite....just some funny little observations about life matters.

What kinds of reading materials do you have in your bathroom?

Status: offline 		Hmmmmmmmm, what is in my bathroom for reading....I live with a Crohns person so there is ALOT of reading material in there.
Always several issues of the following, Newsweek, Smithsonian, Readers Digest, National Geographic and The Oxford something or other ( a magazine of southern art, music and writing ). Those are the staples, sometimes someone will mistakenly get a subscription to something everyone ends up hating like People or Entertainment. Books often find their way in there also. I think the last one was a small book of stupid Bushisms with a photo of him picking his nose on front.

My most recent copy of the ''The Economist'' sits within arms length on the clothes hamper. It's a newspaper within a newspaper lol - Gotta have good reading material when you're isolated.

And myself personally when I have to go, I snatch the book I have been reading. So what ever is read while in the bathroom depends on what book at the moment Ihave going, which currently w*ould be the Secret Pearl.

Status: offline 		The only time I read in the bathroom is while I am running my bath, and while I am soaking in it. Whatever book I am currently working on is what comes with me assuming it is not a hard cover and entirely too bulky to manage in the tub.  In that case, its music and not reading.

Status: offline 		swtn I normally don't do tmi things, but yes sometimes it "takes that long" if you have a horrible bout of diareah or if you're constipated.

Other times for me it makes it easier to go when I am not sitting there waiting to go and get up.  It makes things go a little faster not to be sitting around waiting with idyl time. Also it's the one time in the day that the distractions of the day are well distracting me.

Status: offline 		I soaked and read a few times. I am to anal retentive about possibly messing up my books to do that though.   I take extreamly good care of my books, I don't break the spine, I don't bend the pages I don't muss the covers if it can be at all avoided, and reading in the bath would  just make me obsess that I might get wet fingerprints on my book.

Status: offline 		I am not much for reading in the tub, but I'll do it on accasion if I am bored -- if I am really bored, I'll even run the water...

Seriously though, I keep light reading: Letterman's TOP 10 lists books, ditto for Leno's HEADLINES, compilations of comix (Far Side, Bloom Co., etc), the M*A*S*H* trivia book... I too have had people disappear in the john (You OK? Yeah, I am reading!)... Of course, if I come home with part of the paper unread, I'll bring it withme if nature calls: nothing like the news, a smoke, coffee and a good "whatever"... I guess Iron Bear and I must be members of the "Al Bundy Fan Club" (Married With Children TV show...)
