Well?

For me, although FHM is a good read (and where this thread was inspired from), I have to say the best thing I've read while on the loo would have to be Reader's Digest, back when I was in NZ and my family had them subscribed. Good stuff, that RD!

I always take my PC Gamer magazine into the toilet with me. Either that or the book I am reading at that time.

I don't take reading material to the toilet with me! Nobody should be on the toilet that long that they need something to read!

My boyfriend reads his weed books, comics and the odd FHM. But at the moment hes taken my book called Is It Just Me or Is Everything <img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif">?: The Encyclopedia of Modern Life by Alan McArthur. I never read when Im on the toilet. Just never felt the urge to do so.

Reading on the toilet? Well, I admit, I've done it before when I've just purchased something I've really wanted to read, but no, I don't do it often. You want to have something that's more... seamless, like an MP3 player handy.

What kind of topic is this anyway?

Used to be if there was a stack of anything magazines in the bathroom I would read them. But then I started to get worried about all the other people that have touched them. It upset me a little. Not that I don't wash my hands afterwards.

Anything that comes to hand.

Sitting there without something to do is boring.

I need a console up there.

If I do, I usually just take a book with me. :p

Either a book that I was reading before I had to go, or a word search that's already there.

Sitting on the toilet reading isn't going to help them with that.

But they don't need to be on the toilet if they don't need to go, so they could be doing something else anyway.

I've never felt the urge to bring something. I actually think it's a little gross. What if you mistake your favourite book for toilet paper?

Goodbye favourite book.

You'd have to be pretty screwed up to do that.
This is kinda a weird topic.

Just do your buisness in a public stall and read the writing on the wall.

WTF- I though english-english called it loo

I'm never in there long enough, either. What, do you people have to sit there and wait before you start?

"<img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"> or get off the pot" comes to mind.

No way! Start laughing too hard and you can make a mess. The bathroom is serious buisness people!

Anything, really. Whatever book you're currently reading. Readers Digest is a great one, too.

Real homeboys take wireless laptops with them :cool:

I don't. My brother takes his DS in their sometimes, either that or his Nintendo Magazine. He'll be in there for AGES ;_______;

Renmiri

Your brother does that ? THAT would get me grossed out to touch any magazine afterwards.... Reminds me of a scene in "What about Mary".. Yuck!!!

But in my house it's me, my kids and hubby who all wash hands properly (or use diapers) so I don't have to worry about gross stuff. I read anything that's in there, usually Time magazine.. With politics the way it is in US right now, it's usually an inspiration ;) But I never take my wireless laptop in there.

Oh my gosh. I am surprised someone made a thread about this. I am laughing to death. Anyway, take your cell phone to the toilet and talk on it, then while you flatulate tell them you just let one go. :p

My Dad has a series of books called "Uncle John's Great Big Bathroom Reader" or something close to that. They're just books of trivia and other useless info. But good reads none the less....:)

Reading on the toilet keeps me there far, far too long.

The Book of Mormon is one of my personal favorites.

LMFAO that's the funniest image I've had in my head for a while.. kinda strange too. :p

Anyway.. I don't take a crap that long enough to actually read anything substantial..

Rofl xD This thread is funny.

But yeah, you people are sick! Sick! Don't read stuff while you're on the toilet! Just get it done with and leave, then you can read stuff ;) It's just... disturbing and eugh, for some reason xD
