Do you read on the toilet?

Didn't we take this poll just a little while ago?

No matter. I've read volumes in the bathroom. (typically not in one sitting) It's my sanctuary.

I don't think I even own a book that hasn't seen bathroom time. Funny thing is none of my friends ever borrow books from me. Even when I insist they've "gotta read it". *shrug*

Nitram walks to door of bathroom. "Honey? Are you alright?"
Me on toilet, with book. "... Hmmmm? Oh... yeah.... Just a minute"

30 min later:
Nitram: "Honey? I kinda need the toilet, if you don't mind."
Me, a couple chapters later. "... what?.... OH! Sorry."

Yay a possibility for me to show of my throne!

The stack of magasines is just three weeks of misc literater that I carry in but don't carry out.

Almost all my reading is done there.

Sometimes, when the reading is really good, I could get carried away so far by keep sitting and reading even when the shitting is done. An example is when I actually finished Michael Cricthon's The Great Train Robbery. I was already reading 3/4 of the book before shitting, but it really took some time finishing the remaining part.

The unpleasant part came when wiping my ass because the shits were already dried up and hardened, making them more sticky to my ass. I still remember accidentally removing some butthair when desperately trying to wipe-off those hardened shits. My butthole area also suffered from irritation in the following days. Not a pleasant experience.

I usually manage a chapter or 2, or i read my latest copy of FHM while a take a dump. The problem is as of late my daily shite takes place at 4am which is annoying for those i live with.

Doesn't the magazine pile being that close to the shower affect them through humidity?

Used to read in the toilet until I couldn't feel my butt, usually over 1 hour at a time. I have no idea why, I suppose because I mostly only read when I was bored and being on the throne is boring, but then I don't know why I didn't leave and read outside too. I suppose the book got interesting, and I knew if I got out I would find better things to do.

So I usually read about 20% of a book every time I took a shit, so in 5 shittings (no pun intended) I normally read a whole novel. That's 3-4 days on average.

I tend to read in the bathroom just for the peace it offers.

... and of course, with a wireless network and a laptop, there's always the 'Net in the bathroom when I want it .....

I used to like reading the evening newspaper on the crapper but then I got accused of being the person using it to wipe my arse and clogging the u-bend up when it actually wasn't me, I used the soft, delicate toilet roll readily available. I certainly have no fetish for scraping newspaper across my bottom.

Read? I take the Game Boy with me.

...Well, I do both, actually. Depends on my mood.

I alternate between the laptop, Uncle John's Bathroom Reader, and Der Grosse Brock Haus(german dictionary/encyclopedia). The stuff is fairly heavy in weight, but not in content.

NO, it's extremely unsanitary and there are much better places to read anyway.

Catologues of magazines I could never afford to buy from. Bloomingdales, Neiman Marcus, Armani, etc...

I have definitely been known to leaf through a Reader's Digest while on the throne from time to time

Sure, all the time. Like Tevar, I've been known to camp the toilet when home alone and read for a while.

Do you read on the toilet?

What do you read while you're on the can?
