what reading material do you have by the loo?

[han]

Pickman's - you rule.

 

[spanglechick]

i have a james ellroy book, the cold 6000, it's been there for about a year and i'm half way through it...

Snap!

Except I read it years ago, and it's only in the loo because my ex was reading it in our old flat, and it got packed with all the bathroom stuff.

Also:
Tragically I was an only twin - Peter Cook
Paperweight - Stephen Fry
Confederacy of Dunces
Assorted Heat-type-trashy-celeb Biographies Including Ulkrika and Geri Halliwell
A pocket sized Karma Sutra
A pocket sized Cocktail Recipe Book
Marilyn Monroe Quote book.

There's a reason toilet cisterns are shelf shaped, you know...

 

[Dirty Martini]

I've got:

a Random House paperback dictionary

'A Gringo Manual on How To Handle Mexicans' by Jose Angel Gutierrez

and this, which I got secondhand the other day. It's a giggle, late 50s advice on dating, if you should get married when still at high school, stuff like that.

I think it's extremely unhygenic having reading matter by the toilet. Besides, I never get constipated.

I do take the Guardian cryptic in sometimes, though. There is a well documented link between 'movements' and inspiration.

 

[Wickerman]

I have got:-

Upstairs

The Complete History of Jack The Ripper by Philip Sugden
A Book about Murders of Old Sussex

Downstairs

The Saga of Eric the Viking by Terry Jones
A book about men and their sheds!!

 

[IntoStella]

some Brummie chuckle-brother stood in his unweeded garden grown to seed clad in a vest and holding a football - with a big sticky-out wonky white willy - always looking a bit uncertain with what to do with itself.

Scan it in. Please! I so want to see this.

 

[Pickman's model]

welcome aboard, wickerman!

have a hobnob!

& don't lend dubversion a fiver!

 

[jnaylor]

Jealous... flatmates (g/f included) won't allow material left behind... have to drag my current book / magazine / newspaper with me each time. In which case this would be Jon Strange & Mr Norrell (it's going to be a LONG read) / Practical Photography / last weekend's Weekend supplement from the Guardian.

 

[IntoStella]

In which case this would be Jon Strange & Mr Norrell (it's going to be a LONG read)

I lost the will to live on about page 670.

Gave Up? That bad? That GOOD?

 

[WasGeri]

I don't think it's unhygienic as long as you put the book down before wiping your arse.

 

[nellyphant]

New Statesmen, The Ecologist, New Scientist, Mojo, Venue, Vice and Viz (for the Profanisaurus of course!), GQ and What Plant Where.

None. I've never understood the fascination for reading in the loo Armchairs are much more comfy

Ah, but there is something unique about the splendid isolation of the loo that is conducive to a good read, I find.

 

[belboid]

this thread has inspired me to finally actually take out a subscription to Private Eye, perfect toilet fodder.

 

[Ms T]

We've got a whole Penguin classics library in our loo -- the literary loo is what Mrs M calls it (it's tall and thin and we've had a shelf built round the top).

We also have several old magazines and a chandelier.

 

[editor]

East London Line: New Cross to Liverpool Street
South London Line: London Bridge to Victoria
Crystal Palace (High Level) and Catford Loop (my favorite)

Are there any pics of Brixton train station in that little collection that aren't on urban75?

 

[Rollem]

currently have a copy of "the agony and ecstacy" stories of the world cup" wedged under the hand basin by the loo...

 

[Pieface]

YOu bunch of weirdos - I've never had books by my bog - although I found my copy of Go Tell it on the Mountain in there this morning, which was weird......
