What do you read in the toilet?
Well, gotta be reading something, right? :eyes:

I read magazines, tabloids, the local free newspapers, anything not too involving, otherwise my butt goes numb. :-)

1. Nothing.
My daughter likes to sit down w/ a coloring book and crayons. She will stay there until you have to chase her out.

2. Not in the toilet, no. On the toilet, yeah.
Awfully hard to cram yourself in there in the first place but to read is impossible.

7. I have a stack of Magazines
MAD Magazine, National Geographic, National Geographic Adventure, The Writer, Writer's Digest. But I usually just read whatever book I'm reading at the time, which right now is "Catch - 22" which I will follow up with Plato's "Republic" or George Lakoff's "Don't Think of an Elephant."

8. The Op-Eds.
Edited on Fri Mar-11-05 03:55 AM by tjwash
The op-eds in San Diego are all ultra right garbage, so it's a good place to read them.
