What kind of reading material in your bathroom?

[spinbaby]

In the upstairs bath we have "The Gallery of Regrettable Food" and "Little Adventures in Tokyo." In the downstairs bath we have a very tall stack of TIME magazines and ammo catalogs.

[madmom]

1. We have a basket of

Prevention magazines, plus my daughter and I keep what we call "bathroom books' on top of them. These are books we want to read just so we can say we've read them, but just can't get "into" them.

[tigereye]

5. I should put Ulysses up there, then and Salman Rushdie

books I haven't been able to finish. :D

[Chan790]

32. Not the Joyce.

It's so stream of consciousness that it's fairly well best read in long sittings because you're going to have to backtrack a half page at least to remember what the fuck is going on, that's to say nothing of the "Molly Bloom" soliloquy that by-necessity has to be read in one long sitting. Seriously, stop in the middle and try to pick up again later. you'll be so frustrated as to have to start it again from the top and it's 30 pages so it's about a forty-five minute sentence for most people. (Joyce reads slow.)

No comment on the Rushdie. I have Pynchon in my crapper.

[hippywife]

11. Several things...

QST magazines (ham radio for my hubs), the monthly newsletter from our library which I love because it helps me select what I want to read next, a stack of Church and State newsletters from a couple of years ago (http://www.au.org/) and a few books that I've already read long ago, just no where to really put them. I need to clear some of that out and give it away or store them.

[datasuspect]

12. fuck books, soldier of fortune, and juggs

[Richard Steele]

13. I have some 1960's "National Geographic" magazines, and a LATIN translation of "The Cat in the Hat".

I understand that that edition of 'The Cat in the Hat'
is actually quite VALUABLE, and I probably shouldn't
keep it in the bathroom...but I don't have any children
who are ever gonna appear on "Antiques Roadshow", so
I choose to enjoy it in the place I enjoy it most.

29. Private Eye and a couple of compilations of newspaper columns.

I don't spend that long in there, so I look for things full of lots of short easily-digested items. However, maybe as time takes its toll on my digestive system I'll replace them with a copy of Ulysses like the poster above suggested.
