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?



Chaingang -> RE: Bathroom books (8/21/2006 10:36:47 AM)

I just keep this webpage in there, laminated in plastic of course:

"Does flushing the toilet cause dirty water to be spewed around the bathroom?"

Ewww....Ewwww....Ewwwwwwwww

I think I'll stick with humor...lol.

Actually you can do a lot by using that toilet seat cover. Personally, I won't flush a toilet without one (FYI: many public men's rooms do not have the lids on the toilets - fucking disgusting).

We put in the latest Entertainment Weekly.



IronBear -> RE: Bathroom books (8/21/2006 11:26:45 AM)

I take my latest book I'm reading, a thermos of hot coffee and smoking requisits and settle down for a pain free relaxing bath.. I have also been known to have caused dinner to be served to me whilst bathing..

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.

I used to have a friend that would disappear into my bathroom forever because I kept all sorts of erotic short story books in there LOL



KenDckey -> RE: Bathroom books (8/21/2006 1:35:42 PM)

There are a whole series (something like 59 books) of bathroom readers that can be found at www.bathroomreader.com

My son gives me one every year for Christmas and Birthday.   They are wonderful.

Daddy4UdderSlut -> RE: Bathroom books (8/21/2006 1:45:38 PM)

Let's see - right now, I have the latest issue of the journal "Nature Biotechnology", the magazine "Chemical & Engineering News", and a book - "Creative Nature & Outdoor Photography". [;)]

I don't keep anything in our bathroom, but then we don't ever have company for which to keep things like that in there for. 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.



swtnsparkling -> RE: Bathroom books (8/21/2006 2:34:02 PM)

No Books or Magazines in our bathroom-I never did understand why anyone would want to sit on the toilet and read - does it really take that long ? lol



DiurnalVampire -> RE: Bathroom books (8/21/2006 2:37:57 PM)

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.

FelinePersuasion -> RE: Bathroom books (8/21/2006 2:41:24 PM)

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.

I forgot about tub soaking and reading,makes sense  DUH me



FelinePersuasion -> RE: Bathroom books (8/21/2006 4:18:17 PM)

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.



SCORPIOXXX -> RE: Bathroom books (8/21/2006 5:00:07 PM)

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...)
