Reading on the toilet

[Drakmorg]

I always have a book or magazine in my bathroom for those times when I know I'm going to be there for a while.

Apparently im some kind of toilet speed demon... im done in 1 or 2 mins at the most.

 

[PhoenixKing]

Well, my train of thought is that if I have enough time to focus on reading a book on the toilet, I'm not in there to shit. However, I do read books and play DS while taking a bath on a regular basis.

Uncle John's Bathroom reader, bitches. That stuff'll keep you on the can for upside an hour sometimes. Love that shit.

Always less than 1 minute. There's no point in me reading a magazine or anything. But I will read and send text messages quite often.

You shit and wipe and everything in less than a minute?

Yeah man, give or take 20 seconds. I find it weird how some people take something like 10 minutes. It's like comparing it to taking a piss. Who stands in front of the toilet and has to wait 5 minutes before taking a piss? If you're gonna go, you're gonna go.

On occasion. Usually, I'm in and out in a few minutes, but sometimes, I do read. The problem is that it always increases the time I spend on the toilet exponentially. If I'm reading a really good book, I could be in there for an hour. Just reading. By the time I realize where I am and decide that I can just continue reading in the living room, I have an issue with legs having fallen asleep. Really bad since I use to make fun of my dad for doing the same thing.

40 minutes on the toilet is a bit long. I prefer to do my business quickly so it normally doesn't take any longer than 5 minutes for me.

I always read game manuals on the toilet. I'm quick on the toilet and the manuals are all very short these days, so it seems apt.

 

[Shockolate]

I only take my iPod.

I air drum.

It's fun.

 

[DJ_DEnM]

I take my laptop and read the Escapists Forums.

Like right now.

TMI, sorry.

I refuse on principle to take any actual reading material into the bathroom because I think it's weird, but I will usually grab a shampoo bottle or something and read the ingredients, in a variety of accents. Go figure.

 

[infohippie]

I usually have my phone with me, which means I have a choice of several hundred ebooks. I hardly ever go for long without reading, wherever I am.

The hell is wrong with your bowel movements people? 40 minutes? 60 minutes? 90 fuckin' minutes. You better be reading WebMD and looking for the solution to your problem.

I don't read - in and out in five minutes tops.

 

[Rooster893]

I usually read GameInformer or WWE Magazine. It helps the time go by.

 

[luckycharms8282]

If I have a really good book to read, and I have a large amount of business to take care of I do bring a book. I usually just have a radio in the bathroom and listen to it while Im showering, shaving, etc.

 

[weatherfn]

I bring books with me, and I might stay for a little while in there. It's not because I am...going...for that long, but really it's the only place in the house where I can go without being bothered.

 

[Zero_ctrl]

Depends on the location. If I'm at home and have nothing to do, I read away.
My record of reading on the toilet? 1 hour and 20 minutes.

I keep a Bathroom Reader and a Gameboy with the original Tetris in the bathroom for long visits.

 

[Jezzascmezza]

I usually smuggle an ipod in there and play on that.

 

[SD-Fiend]

DS or just reading. I actually have a book made just for that the big bathroom reader or something it's a pretty good read really I recommend it.
