Yes. :P

Personally I don't read in the loo. I prefer to sit down for a few hours at a time and read.

Miiru and I always have things in our loo to read. At the moment there's a magazine called Natural Triad which is a magazine that covers health, food, and such issues with a local slant as well as Starship Titanic by Terry Jones. The book is of course the novelization of the old school video game done by Douglas Adams. However, at any given time you might find anything loitering on the bank of our toilet.

Examples of former Bathroom Reading in the Miiyore house. Like how I mashed us up there? I'm a genius.

1. The Lesbian Sex Book
2. Anything by Terry Pratchett
3. Henry and June by Anais Nin
4. Calvin and Hobbes comics
5. Sex Lives of the Roman Emperors by Nigel Cawthorne

So it would seem that we like our potty reading either hilarious or sexy, but either way it should be healthy and local. What this says about us is probably nothing flattering.

Hahaha... when I was a kid, my parents always got mad at me for occupying the toilet for ages because I brought my book, and then just remained sitting there reading...
The last couple of years, at my mother's place, there were always some magazines, the radio programme, and "MOFF", a comic magazine by an Austrian caricaturist. I sometimes added a non-fiction book I wasn't going to finish otherwise.

One of the things that my own place is still lacking is some sort of shelf in the bathroom... I really think toilets should come with built-in bookshelves. *serious nod* The idea is to move some of my Mickey Mouse comics and GEO magazines there... I need to read them all again and make up my mind which of them I'll keep.

Thank God, I thought I was the only one doing this. Apart from reading in the loo, I also read in the bathtub (only one book fell in so far) and when I eat, which always drives my father crazy when I invite my parents for breakfast. I manage to read while I watch TV, and when I was a kid, I invented an ingenious device "the Buchibus" "Buch" means book and "bus" was a pseudo-Latin suffix. All it was, was a plastic bag with strings, so you could wear it around your neck and carry your book everywhere. I remember carrying some (Goldmann publisher) Star Wars novels all over the house for some time with this gadget.

The rest of my family never takes anything except for the newspaper into the bathroom. They also don't care much for reading in general.

I think I am adopted.

I do read in the bathtub and while eating, too. The latter was another thing I always got told off for. I didn't understand that at all - how come my father was allowed to read the newspaper at breakfast, but I wasn't allowed to bring my book to dinner? (And later, why wasn't my brother ever told off for playing with his phone during meals?)

Reading at dinner depended on how many people were there- more than 3, reading was off. I cherished the time when my siblings had both moved out:D

When I was younger, I'd say 9-16 or so, I had a stack of books that I'd rotate in and out of the bathroom for reading material. Usually it was stuff I'd read years before (thus this got into some VERY little kid material!) and wanted to read it again just for the sake of reading it again. Never anything quality, I think I had some American Girl books (you know, the ones will all the dolls, and they're so historically accurate..), some Animorph books, mostly Y.A. stuff I wouldn't usually admit I ever read.

Now, I either take my phone in & catch up on the news, or if I'm in the middle of reading something, I'll take it in with me and right back out again when I'm done. I can't bring sudoku books in anymore, as I've grown attached to doing the harder puzzles and for me, if I start a hard puzzle, it's impossible to try and pick it up if I stop it. (If I do it all in one go, I can remember things like "this box could be a 8 or a 3" without writing it down. But if I stop, poof!)

Also.. I thought this was going to be about funny graffiti or signs in work / school / public restrooms. :P
