What types of reading material do you have in your bathroom?

Post Reply New Topic

I just pulled my stack out and here's what I keep next to the Thinking Throne (TT... get it? )

-Berlitz Latin Dictionary
-Easy Latin Crossword Puzzles
-Plato and a Platypus Walk Into A Bar..
-Come Back Alive: The ultimate guide to surviving disasters, kidnappings, animal attacks, and other nasty perils...
-Bloom County "Loose Tails"
-54 Lifesaving Earthquake Safety Tips (a deck of playing cards my daughter gave me)
-The Big Book of Sudoku #2f (given to me by a co-worker. wonder if she'd be horrified knowing where it wound up?)
-Secrets of Mental Math
-Celebrity Style Shortcuts (a hairstyle magazine.... don't ask why )
-The Wooden Boat Store Spring 2007 catalog
-Guitar One magazine
-Digital Content Producer magazine (found this dumpster-diving for interesting catalogs at the post office )
-Women's Day magazine - January and April 07 (one is mine, the other may have come from work)
-AARP magazine (found at work)
-COSTCO Connection (big box retailer hype)
-NUTS & VOLTS magazine
-Beads of Glass (one of my daughter's glass-blowing books)

I really only do the sudoku, latin and read the mental math books currently. The rest are just doomed to an eternal life in the pile of bathroom reading

I normally dont use my throne for thinking lol.. Books there would be useless.

Generally the latest copy of The Independent, The Times, or the Daily Express.

The backs of everyone else's toiletries bottles (Can't believe the rubbish people cover themselves in. I'm happy with just soap and toothpaste. Got MCS too though so no chemicals for me).

I used to try and leave books next to the toilet, but they always got moved. I'm getting my own place though soon, so it's going to have a bookshelf right there.

The only problem is getting too into a book and not moving for hours (though for reading it's good because you don't have to move).

I have a friend who put a laptop computer in his toilet. I'm not going that far.

Dorms bathrooms are there only for neccessity. You don't read in there.

I can remember a time I would sit reading the dictionary in the toilet or books of myths and legends, but now I just take in whatever I happen to be reading, which is a waste of time as I am a crap n go sort of girl

Newspapers from the previous days of the week.

LOL, I do that too, although now it's just when I'm at someone else's house with nothing to read and I find their stuff lying within arms reach.

This is seriously quite a useful thing to do...
A year or two ago, my daughter brought home this list of chemicals found in cigarette smoke. It's one of the SHOCK items used to scare kids away from something.
Now, I don't smoke and don't like cigarette smoke myself (after having grown up in a house full of smokers ), but this sort of SHOCK stuff with young children really ticks me off!

Anyway, I was looking at the list and noticed something listed that I had read before off a shampoo bottle.
I promptly went and found the bottle and showed my daughter what was in the shampoo and what crossed over onto her school list.

She was surprised to say the least!

I also like to check out the walls and ceilings in bathrooms outside of my home (already done this at home).
I find all sorts of interesting shapes, faces, animals, etc. in the patterns of the wall coverings, paint swirls, wood surfaces, etc.
I'm always seeing stuff on walls everywhere I go.
At the therapist's offices I've been too I'm usually checking out their walls pointing out all the faces I see... wonder if that kinda freaks them out... being all perfect and everything

Newsweek

Do you exchange the old edition with a new edition every week?

about 10 guitar mags that belong to my BF,some "sales flyers",sudoku book,"101 useful household fix it yourself tips"book.I usually bring in whatever I'm reading but doesnt work to bring the laptop as the cat thinks it needs to be on my lap when I'm in there....and yes,it does bother me,but he's so cute.

no books, just handheld games like Sudoku, Yahtzee, Poker, Solitaire, FreeCell etc.

I actually just let them pile up as I get new ones, but I rarely go back to an old one. After a few months I'll finally clean out my bin and recycle them.

I've been desiring one of those to keep in my lab coat pocket for my bathroom breaks at work. There's never anything decent to read or do in the bathrooms at work

yes, and you can put them on mute so no one knows you are playing them!! !

You know, it says below your posts that you are a 35 y.o. mother, should you be encouraging this sort of behavior in me?
