Bathroom Reading

C'mon folks, it's get to know you time.

Everyone reads in the bathroom at some point.
What's sitting on your counter?

"What is Mathematics, 2nd Edition" is on my bathroom counter, and my bro reads "Don Quijote". What an odd pair of bathroom books, seeing as our parents are a math professor and a librarian with a Spanish Literature PhD.

I read the paper.
Yes, it's cliche, but it's the truth.

That or Popular Science or Mechanics.

Man, How many things are you going to do in the Bathroom? Read Servo Magazine, Talk to a FIRST friend on phone, study for science test, sing? Jeez people, learn to do one thing at a time

Re: Bathroom Reading

I usally have a copy of a Tower hobbies catalog around. It's often out of date, and I've all but memorized all the copy, but I'm not looking to expand my mind.

Other then that, the window always provides plenty of amusement.

If you're ever really in need of something to read, compare the ingredients between two different shampoo's and/or soaps. It'll make you wonder why there are 50 billion different brands for the same stuff.

Re: Bathroom Reading

Read? In the only bathroom in the house, where everyone wants in at the same time, and besides, there is no counter to put stuff on?

You people have it good!!

(There's room in bed for a book and a flashlight, however, so that's how we sneak the reading in at our house. )

Re: Bathroom Reading

Here in Preston, the only bathroom reading is reading the text they put on the back of my shampoo bottle. (My shower caddy happens to hang right in front of the toilet in our bathroom, conveniently close to eye level.)

At home, however, it's usually Reader's Digest.

Re: Bathroom Reading

Wow, why does this thread not surprise me? Especially the author...

But yeah...I can't stop laughing at this thread...Nice job Genia<3

I guess I read whatever's there. Mom likes to put order booklets for creativity stores in there, and furniture mags. I just read it for fun.

Also, I'm weird but I read the labels on all our beauty products in the cabinet next to the loo. It's really funny what some labels say. xD
