That made me laugh ... I used to work with a guy who used to bring a book to the men's room with him & be 'missing' for ages - and he was an 'adult'.

Maybe he had a bowel problem ... not something you could ask :lol:
I never got the whole 'read on the toilet seat' thing, maybe its because i have plenty of fibre, but i have never needed to be on the seat long enough to be able to read anything, even a quick glance!

:lol:

That's why I prefer to buy books instead of borrowing them in library. You never know where people take the book :P

By the way, I saw a man reading a book while walking today. I couldn't resist to smile :)

But lots of men bring in the paper or a magazine whilst on the seat, now even that requires a few minutes reading, my fibre keeps me on and off in seconds...and im sure you all really wanted to know that :lol:

A friend of mine read everything sitting on the pot. He even called his bathroom the library.

My concern about books from library is getting more and more serious :P

Might not be a bad idea to use spray Lysol on library books.

Every library should have a "Guard" stationed outside the toilets and not let anyone in who is carrying a book. I can just see it, "SIR STEP AWAY FROM THE DOOR AND RETURN THAT BOOK!". :D

What I can think of...
A particular seat in my school library.
Under a particular tree near my home.
On the couch.

Sorry if they sound boring,
Ail.
:D Enjoy your day~

I like reading at home or during transit or while waiting in public places. It passes away the time in a jiffy!
