    What's In Your Bathroom Library?

    You know you do it, we all do -- so what do you read when you are In There? Do you keep a store of reading matter within easy reach?

    I have a large magazine holder thing next to the Facility, which currently contains:

    The current issue of the Atlantic Monthly

    The March 2009 issue of National Geographic

    "The Most of S. J. Perelman," a Modern Library compliation of the humorist's best short pieces.

    Broadcasting magazine for October 15, 1937

    Broadcast Advertising magazine for March 1932

    The 1958 Information Please Almanac

    A 1930's religious pamphlet called "Universal War Near," which prophesies the coming destruction of all civilization and has a delightfully lurid cover.

    A 1935 Johnson Smith Co. novelty catalogue

    A Radio Yesteryear catalogue of old radio recordings c. 1975

    What's in *your* Bathroom Library?

    Architectural Digest (the only issue I ever bought, from 1987), two recent Vanity Fair and a few recent J. Peterman Catalogues.
    Those are all for guests, of course...

    Likewise issues of Vanity Fair. And the latest Laura Ashley home catalog. No better place to feel dissatisfied with your home than the loo.

    We have 3 bathrooms, and the reading material in them varies by who typically uses 'em.
    In the downstairs loo there are issues of Car, F1, Trout Fisherman and Hi-Fi Choice. That is not the bathroom I use!

    The easiest way to really get to know someone is to look at what they read in the bathroom. If that's not an old saying, it should be.

    My bathroom library changes from time to time. I always try to keep a book in there but they always end up back in my room. I guess I have Mother to thank for that.
    The longest book I've had in the bathroom was The Bell Jar, Sylvia Plath.

    I now realise that perhaps you mean bathroom as in the WC?
    We're all mad here...

    Does that mean Sylvia Plath gives you the poops?

    My laptop.

    Yes, I have posted to FL from the can.
    No desire, no ambition leads me.
    Maybe it's because nobody needs me.

    That conjures up a disturbing mental image.

    Every time you post in the "what are you listening to?" thread I'm going to think of your last post here...

    Same here. In fact, that's where I keep my netbook.

    At the moment, the collected works of Philo, which I can never seem to finish, a Scottish Rite newletter, and a Cabela's catalog.
