What you got to read in your Bathroom?

[Burma Jones]

I surely need to read. We have the following in two bathrooms:

Yoga Journal magazines
several New Yorkers (the magazine, not people)
An Uncle John Bathroom Reader
The Norton Anthology of English Literature, volume 2
A Bennett Cerf collection

[GOPisEvil]

1. Nothing.

:shrug:

Sometimes I'll take whatever I am reading at the time with me, but usually, I'm not a bathroom reader.

[matcom]

2. Time Mag

get the issue on Tuesdays and it IMMEDIATELY get's 'stored' in the bathroom

Mrs. Matcom won't let me get a TV with an XBox in there x(

[Rabrrrrrr]

8. I've been tempted to run ethernet into the bathroom

but then realized that I really don't want a laptop on my lap when I'm, you know, doing bathroom stuff.

But maybe - if I had a LCD screen on the wall, and a keyboard, I cuold just wire then into another computer and run the cable through... hmmmm.......

[Burma Jones]

14. I'm having my basement finished

perhaps I should have some cable run into the new bathroom.

[Rabrrrrrr]

25. Or if not cable, certainly I would suggest making sure there's

the possibility of running cable later - that is, leave a pipe, or hole in the wall, or whatever you'd need for any later time when you DO decide to run cable (or whatever future thing might be available).

3. New Yorkers, Vanity Fairs and some Nat Geos

In the upstairs bathroom. Downstairs we have Smithsonians, and a bunch of material from the League of Women Voters and various ACLU pamphlets.

[THUNDER HANDS]

4. finally, a question I can sink my teeth into

As someone who has a small public library in his bathroom...

Rolling Stone
The Nation
The Treason of Isenguard (LOTR book)
This year's NY Islanders media guide
Maxim
Lies & the Lying Liars who Tell Them
The Great Unraveling by Paul Krugman
2002 Political Almanac

There are others, but I don't want to seem weird. :)

[Rabrrrrrr]

5. ARTNews and WIRED and a Levenger catalogue

WIRED is pretty much a constant mainstay in the bathroom, though ARTNews is also beginning to have a standard showing there.

And the occasional catalogue.

I love the Uncle John's Bathroom Readers, but after I read the one volume I have 3 times, I retired it. Perhaps it's time to brack it back out - been a few years.

[Wickerman]

6. Uncle John's Bathroom Reader

Trivia, in about 5 minute bursts.

Various computer magazines

Sleeping With the Devil: How Washington Sold Our Soul for Saudi Crude
by Robert Baer

[ConcernedCanuk]

17. Hmm - I didn't even realize it was "Uncle Johns" - how appropriate !

.
.
.

bought it at a garage sale - 25 cents, 8th Edition prior 2002 I think

Also , 2 Staples Catalogues

A few Time mags when Sadaam was on the cover, one with the X thru it

and my "bible" - a monster of a book called "Prescription for Natural Healing" - all about symptoms and natural solutions -

That's about it!

[benburch]

7. Replica 1908 Sears Catalog. n/t

.

[BlueJazz]

9. I have "Macromedia Flash Studio MX Bible"

NT

[Maddy McCall]

10. Smithsonian magazine and a book about first civilizations

[mobuto]

11. Another Norton Anthology? LOL

-Half a dozen New Yorkers
-Norton Anthology of English Literature, volume 1 (for real)
-Wilder's The Bridge of San Luis Rey
-Thucydides History of the Peleponesian War
-Sunday's NY Times Magazine

I do serious reading on the john.

[Burma Jones]

15. A Nice List

Do you have Liberal Arts majors (like me) using your Bathroom? I think the Thucydides is a great part of any bathroom library.

[mobuto]

21. Once a liberal arts major, always a liberal arts major

I find Thucydides fascinating - the same questions that Athens faced in the fifth century are ones we're facing today. Again and again you see the same issues reflected. Its very scary.

[Jivenwail]

12. Ugh

Well, seeing how my husband occupies them all at any given time for the majority of the time (LOL!) we have Sporting News, Consumer Reports and Car & Driver.

Need I say more???

[BiggJawn]

13. Airframe and Powerplant Mechanic's textbook.

And a 1939 Mechanix Illustrated Home Handyman's Guide...
Home handymen were a lot more "handy" 60 years ago than they are now. they had machine lathes and heat-treat furnaces in their basements and all that shiznit....Now you're a "handyman" if you have a home-made wireless LAN in your crib.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

16. I always take my book in with me...

I get weird looks from the girls on my floor, but it helps me relax so...well, you know...

30. We have a basket full of mags and catalogs

After we finish reading them they go in there. Of course we get so many mags the pile starts to get too large after a while.

[TrogL]

31. Homophobia

Don't remember the author off-hand. It's hard-cover and about two inches thick.

Excellent section on history of Greek writers especially satirists.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

the Discoveries series of paperback books provides a visually exciting, accessible look at subjects ranging from art, archaeology, and music to history, science, and nature
