Don't know if this has been covered previously but noticed on other post someone reading the Northern Tools Catalogue, in our house this is one of the staples of the err downstairs facilty's library  ;) :P
along with the Farmer's Weekly, Sporting Gun, Machine Mart catalogue and Auto Express.
Please note no ladies titles in there ;)

The writing on the wall is the whole reason for going to that room, isn't it? gmail has a wonderful icon of a steaming pile with a couple of flies buzzing round it - would love that to be on here - highly appropriate  ;D

A hundred years ago in my student days there was a little room down in the basement which had some lovely graffiti.  One of my favourites was:
There was a young fellow from Hyde
Fell into a privy and died
Then later his brother
Fell into another
and now they're interred side-by-side

Another favourite was: Owing to instability of the foundations, tur#s weighing more than a pound to be lowered by hand.

As for the Loo Library, mine currently has an aeroplane mag, a steam train mag and a gardening mag, plus a couple of kindles from time to time, and numerous pairs of specs.

whenever I have a birthday or xmas coming up, I always leave catalogues like the Joules one etc in the loo as I know Tony will pick it up and I keep my fingers crossed that the subliminal message will get across  ;)

I left a goat book in there too from where I'd been reading in the bath and he actually said to me next day "ooh, those English goats actually look quite nice don't they?" - took me a while to work out where that had come from  ;D

I would say its the most privacy I get ...

... but with four cats, a german shepherd & a shameless husband, thats not really true!  Frankie the kitten especially seems to think I can't manage by myself :D

I take whatever I happen to be reading, as all those mentioned above are apt to move things. ::)

That's why magazines are better than a book - articles of a variety of lengths to suit every eventuality  ;D

As we share the bathroom and toilet, I do not keep reading stuff in there and I am in and out quickly BUT, I love to clean my ears out with cotton buds while on the toilet, I did use to keep magazines near the loe but did not like the idea of "dirty" hands but it was travel stuff for the area.....I mostly read things on tinternet so if I did read in the loe apart from toiletry products to read I would take a Tablet :o
