    Bathroom Reading Material

    So I've had the same two books in the throne room for about 5 years now: The Authoritative Calvin and Hobbes and A Brief History of Time. I reckon its time to expand my horizons a bit and get a third piece of reading material. Any suggestions? Whats sitting on the back of your toilet?

    I bring my laptop into the bathroom and read BG on the toilet.

    Also the newspaper when it's available.

    Uncle john's Bathroom reader and the newest Time Magazine.

    I have to read to something in there, otherwise it just feels like wasted time.

    I have a magazine rack next to the toilet where I just put all the magazines that end up coming into my house. This can range from Game Informer to O Magazine, so there's kind of a broad spectrum of junk to read for anyone who might use that bathroom. I don't put anything in there that lends itself to extended perusal, because I honestly do not want people relaxing their guts to the fullest extent in my shitter. I have to clean it.

    In my personal bathroom adjacent to my bedroom, I just take whatever book I'm currently reading in there with me. I rarely bother with reading material, though. I don't generally like to spend a lot of time just lounging around on the toilet, and I don't want to touch my dirty ass and then touch my reading material again, so its use is pretty marginal for me.

    i dont understand people that sit on the toilet for hours and read. when i feel i need to poo, i go poo. I go in, sit down, push, then get up, wipe, wash hands, leave. 5 min tops. why do your poops take 30+ minutes

    Not everybody is the same. I have bad ulcers so I always shit blood and it hurts like fuck. So I like to take my time rather then just rip open my ass every time I've gotta take a shit. So might as well reed something.

    I know, tmi.

    I shit every few days for 15-20 mins. As much as everyone says it's bad to hold your shit in, I don't, I go when i need to, and I take a fat shit when I go.....so I bring in something to occupy myself with.

    This pretty much describes the way I feel. If I'm doing anything other then focusing on getting done quick I'm probably dicking around on my iPhone.

    This.

    Big poops are big. It's also nice to not end up pooping in stupid/awkward/inopportune locations thanks to long durations between fecal evacuations.

    Nintendo DS or iPhone for me. I've had occasional collections of short stories by my more favored authors. I can't leave a novel or anything substantial for only crapping times.

    My bathroom was stacked with MAD magazines and Maxims, over the years this became a habit, I would look forward to my next shit session, cus i made it clear to myself its the only time i am allowed to read maxim and MAD. Then i had an anus problem, and doctor told me one of the causes of this is long toilet sessions....funny; MY prophet (PBUH) mentioned that in his teachings, shoulda listened to him, silly me.

    so just an advice, its really not healthy to "read" while on the crapper. Take it from a hurt anus.
