I'm not there for very long so I just grab something like a shampoo bottle or shaving cream thing and just read the label. I know I'm a weird one...

I think it is werid that people read at all while going to the bathroom. I just go in, do my buisness, and get out. Why would I want to read on the toilett when I can read on a couch or chair... both of which are far more comfy:)

In college, we were visiting a professor's home and discovered he had the complete works of Karl Marx in a special mini-bookcase on top of his toilet. It was the first time I considered that anyone would read in there. Perhaps some Metamucil is in order? ;)

If you're married and have kids, it's the only place with any peace and quiet. :)

If someone leaves an article I will often read it if I am spending time on the throne. Back when I was going to UT, it was always amusing to read the surprisingly illuminating and often hilarious graffiti that other wisenheimers put up.

At work, in one of the stalls there's often an article off the Dallas Cowboys web page that some guy prints out to read on the crapper. That actually makes for good reading as well.

When I was young I had a shower curtain with a world map on it, so everytime I did my business I would subconsciously study it.

After a while i got pretty good at knowing the capitals of many many of the worlds countries.

To pass the time I pretend I'm Kirk commanding the Enterprise. I battle a lot of Klingons.

Depends what bathroom i'm in. I have my own bathroom downstairs, my sisters share one bathroom upstairs, and my parents have their own bathroom in their room. If i'm in mine, i usually have a gamepro or something laying around if i'm in there for more then a minute or two... sometimes I get so into what i'm reading that i forget i'm on a toilet and forget what i'm THERE to do :)

if i'm on my sisters toilet I read cosmopoliton (sp) or whatever teen magazines they have around... some articles are actually interesting

if i'm on my parents i read my dads uh, "collection" of "articles" complete with pictures of uh, things?

Currently I'm reading Michio Kaku's "Visions". It's a book about Physics. prior to that I read the service manual for my motorcycle. The sad thing is the service manual is far more difficult for me to understand than a book on Quantum machanics and physics.

reading on the toilet is a serious "guy" institution. every guy reads on the toilet, every guy is deathly afraid of his ding dong touching the underside of the rim, every guy tries to look at porn on the toilet once... just once.
