I don't read in the bathroom never had maybe in the future when old age and slower bowel movements kick in but not for now...although I'm reading a book I want to use as toilet paper right now, does that count?

I keep nonfiction in the bathroom, to take small bites out of. I keep fiction next to my bed.

I used to read in the bathroom, but I haven't done it in years. My wife still occasionally reads in the bathroom, but no where near as much as she used to.

Ha! If the book is that bad, I feel no shame in putting it down for good (Moby Dick had to be abandoned). I did finish the Stieg Larson series (Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, etc.). If I was going to have started reading in the bathroom it would have been those books. They were so good I could hardly put them down.

I voted yes and other. Yes, I take magazines, or books or my phone in there ( i have kindle on my blackberry)....
Other because sometimes I take my laptop in there.. Im lactose intolerant, so if i had dairy, i know i may be a min. So I need something to occupy me LOL

Magazines are better. If I take a book I am likely to be in there forever trying to get to the next chapter or something LOL.

Yup! Love reading, and if I'm there for a while I get bored I have a book with one or two page stories, which works really well, since I don't get really into them and end up staying in the bathroom all day.

If it wasn't for the bathroom, I'd never get any reading done!

Read and do puzzles - I go crazy if I have to just sit there.

Depends on how long I think I may be in there. I'll usually grab the shampoo bottle off the side of the tub and read the ingredients, even if I've read them a million times before.

I'm never in there long enough to be wanting reading material. If I was though, I would totally bring a novel in with me.

Yes and no. If I know I am going to be in there a bit or really want to finish a chapter I will take my book in with me. I am also know to take a book in with me to pee and then sit on the edge of the tube when done to get away from the kids for a few extra minutes and read lol

If I'm going to be in there for awhile I'll read a couple of comic books, but those are really the only things I keep in there.

I do like to read in the bathroom or when I'm eating. It doesn't matter what I read, it just has to hold my interest.

I have never been into paper reading but sometimes I find something on my laptop and I run in there with it. Sounds like TMI but it was asked lol

Don't read in the bathroom. It's too small in there and the kitty litter gets smelly after a while.

Not usually. Once in a while.

Not typically, but I have on occasion. Then again, I do not spend more than a few minutes in there at a time.

HELL NO!
To me, no matter how often you clean the bathroom - I will always see it as a germy place. I want to spend as little time as possible there.
I don't go to toilet, unless I actually need to go. And it doesn't take me that long to dump (either loads) and get out!

I'd much rather read on my bed in comfort and style!

No. I just don't spend a lot of time in there.

My mom told me the same thing! I really would stay in their for nearly an hour to read just so I could finish a section without my siblings bothering me. Today, if I'm reading in the bathroom, it's because I'm taking a long bubble bath.

My view is get in, get out. I hate spending time in the bathroom. Too many germs.
