Reading on the toilet

[KittyGlitter]

Why do people read in the toilet? Do you carry on reading once you've done the business? I've never understood this one, so please enlighten me!!

[landie]

I must be the odd one out, I've never done it and don't intend to start now. Mind you, when I was a kid, that was all you had to buff and polish.

Gameboys (the handheld game) and laptops are also handy for the loo.

Took Parma to the European Cup Final in CM4 during "visits".

Can't wait to get wireless internet connection for my laptop, then i can surf and "turf"!

[IndieSinger]

I take a book when I go to the loo. A log book.

[Jenny Tools]

I can recommend 'The life and times of Richard the Third' 

[FP]

GAB Indie.  LOL

[diddy]

Or Tess of the D'umpervilles, Watershi* Down or The Curious Incident of the Log in the Night-time. 

[brawburd]

I do it all the time and my partner thinks it's completely revolting.  It just makes for a very productive use of time.  Both activities.

[Lindy Loo]

Jenny shouldn't that be 'Richard the T*rd'?!!!

i don't know why, but the idea of reading on the toilet disgusts me.  Reading in the bath I can understand, but why would anyone want to spend more time than was nessesary in the smallest, most uncomfortable room in the house?

Apart form anything else, it advertises to everone else in the house that you need to take that long in the loo. I really don't think it's particularly healthy, like HeratthePC said, try some fibre, Albran or something. 

[FP]

Morrisonker.  Because one stays in the loo that length of time doesn't necessary mean you are actually taking that length of time to do what is necessary.  If the book is good then one has to stay in there and finish a few chapters.

Besides my bathroom is the warmest and cosiest room in the house and has a very nice atmosphere!  The best thing is the lock on the door.

Since we are on this theme... why do men always insist on talking about thier bodily functions. It seems every time they go for a curry they have 'toilet issues' . I have the same curry, have no...problems... and certainly me adn my friends dont talk about it!

[Chillum]

Lovely subject.... I have a supply of quiz books in mine, how bad/sad is that? Might as well top-up the knowledge banks while I'm in there. I see it as more of a thinking-stool, than a toilet.

[FP]

And I also keep a note pad and a biro in my magazine rack.  They come in useful for crossword puzzles.

[bernardo]

I never do.

[lodekka]

*GAB*

Often a newspaper, sometimes a magazine.

[Bangkok]

Cryptic crossword book, trivia books and an Ian Rankin

When im in the loo,I throw empty toilet rolls at the door handle,About 6 foot away. Ive never succeeded in 2 years to hook the roll on the handle.I might have to change the knob!!

[Jenny Tools]

I read Victoria Beckham's autobiography because it's guaranteed to give me the sh1fs

[RevShirls]

My husband and I both read in the toilet - though not at the same time, of course. I think it's maybe a bit of a time-saver. We both do quite a bit of reading for our work. I used to have a bookshelf in the toilet with many books (including toilet humour books) and many-a-time �t was very funny to hear the hoots of laughter coming from the wee-room when my friends were round.

Ooh are you the kittyglitter i know from another site (hbz) are you? if so hello!! I'm tracym.
I read on the loo and the bath cos with 2 children and the internetto distract me there's no other chance i get to read!
Timewaster Letters is an excellent toilet side book!
