    You should try it, it can be both relaxing and inspirational (I have come up with several tech solutions for customers while dropping the kids off at the pool!)

    The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri. Is there any better way of showing the due admiration and respect to what is without doubt the greatest pre-Renaissance classic of European literature than reading it whilst taking a dump? If there is I can't think of any.

    I just grab anything really. If it feels like I'll be there a while I grab something that'll need my attention.

    For the sake of weirdness, people should point out if they're male or female.

    Usually my history textbook.

    Shows the respect I have for university.




    I still remember the day my mother convinced me that reading in the toilet was a good idea "It makes the poo come quicker"

    I trotted off on my chubby little legs to read Mr McVickers Zoo and a storyline about some hippos bathing in blue smarties.


    My ma regretted that advice as I would often hole myself up in the ****ter for hours reading childrens books.

    Back in the day I used to grab my gameboy when I needed to go. Toilet + Tetris + 45mins = Heaven

    I'm male anyway. Otherwise I'd be Javagirl.

    And I'm gonna go out on a limb and suggest that micmclo might be a girl because blokes are supposed to read in the toilet until well after the point of pins and needles. Although the efficient bit confuses me as that doesn't sound like a girl. :confused:

    Nope! Not a girl.
    So lads are "supposed" to read? :rolleyes: Am I am a freak for not doing so?

    I just don't get it. Something to be done and get it over with.
    Though they were eight in our house growing up and one bathroom so loitering in the bathroom was a hanging offence :eek: Maybe that's why I don't get it....

    Didn't get to read in the toilet when growing up? Have you even heard of Childline you poor deprived boy?

    There's still time for you to put this right. Get yourself a big feed and wait a while. Then grab yourself a copy of 1001 Amazing Facts. Start by just reading one or two facts the first time and gradually ramp it up so that you're getting through 100 or so per session.

    You'll be alright now. Everything's going to be alright.

    Try David Macaulay's The Way Things Work. That was another one I had as a kid.

    Or alternatively, get the issue of How My Body Works that actually covers excretion for a real on the job learning experience. :rolleyes:
