Bathroom Reading

Every day when I'm at work, I'll take some time out to take an extended trip to the can. Usually I'll print out some articles, but this has been increasingly more difficult in recent days. Ideally, I'll print out an article by ESPN's Bill Simmons, but he only comes out twice a week.

Do you guys know of any good bathroom reading articles that you guys peruse? Ideally, I'd like to go for no less than 9-10 pages. If it's split between two to four articles, so be it.

Usually I hit up:

www.weeklystandard.com
www.americanthinker.com
www.victorhanson.com

Any suggestions? Some guy posted a lengthy article about Scott Boras not too long ago. That was ideal. The other day I read Dave Barry's year-in-review. Things along those lines... Please help, I really gotta go!

This is so funny you started this thread.....I just put a book for the first time in my life in the bathroom 2 days ago!



The 5 languages of love or whatever it is....I've been told I need to figure it out



To be honest it's pretty appropriate that it's that close to the crapper

I've never figured out why people read in the bathroom.

I have a copy of the Bathroom Reader. A great book, with stories of different length depending on how long you think you'll be in there.

I have all of them. They usually come out once-a-year at the end of the year, and I'll usually get them as a Christmas splurge. However, there's a difference between walking around the office with a bunch of papers I just picked up from the printer, and walking around the office with a large copy of "Uncle John's Curiously Compelling Bathroom Reader".

I'm afraid of Penile Cancer from having it perched there for too long.

(Great to know everyone's crapping habits, BTW)

We stock the BRs at home w/ crossword puzzles.

Ed, based on the sites that you already mentioned, it may be worth checking out Jewish World Review (www.jewishworldreview.com).
