Books for the can

Post Reply New Topic

What does everyone read on the can? I can't go to the bathroom to do #2 without reading something. I have Popular Mechanics Guide To Home Improvement, it's a hardcover about 2 inches thick with lots of home building ideas like how to do drywall, make shelves, shingle and more.

My reading material on the can was always something along the lines of popular electronics, or the B+H photo/video catalog.

hahahaha!

i have only JUST posted something about this on the rather coyly titled "number 1" thread.

serendipity, or what?

I have to have a noise. Either the bathroom's fan, or I'll put together a playlist on my computer and turn up the volume. I don't want to ruin any books.

Well, scattered about the three bathrooms in my house you can find 'Life: Our Century in Pictures', 'Heavens to Betsy' by Charles Earl Funke, Tom Burnam's Dictionary of Misinformation, an old issue of The Onion, a book about the Peleponesian(sic?) War, a compilation of Dilbert comics called 'Bring me the Head of Willy the Mailboy', Roget's Thesaurus, a booklet called 'Why do Cowboys Wear High Heels?' and of course, three books from the Bathroom Reader series.

Techincal readouts of mechas from mechwarrior or star wars weapons or my gigantic WWII weapons encyclopedia.

I also might read some art books, I guess I am more of a visual person on the toleit than otherwhere. . .

I can't stand the sound of myself defecating. I take off my implant so I don't have to hear it.

I used to read the Entertainment Weekly on the can, but our subsription ran out.

Whatever magazine happens to be around at the time. I try to avoid bringing books into the toilet though as sometimes i get immersed in it and by the time i stand up i have got "dead" legs. Sitting on the john too long also leads to dangleberrys.

Oh, yes. I forgot to mention 'Time', 'The Week', 'Star Trek Communicator', and 'Land's End'.

I can't concentrate on reading and having a s**t at the same time.

Your ability to multitask must be even worse than mine.
