Personally, I just took a book in with me. (I thought everyone did, but apparently not.) Many share houses, when I was a student, put the film calendar for the local art house cinema on the back of the toilet door. It was the accepted place for it. Reading on the pot is a time-honoured tradition.

My grammy had a curated bathroom library. Usually those "1000 Odd Facts" type of books that you could pickup and flip through.

Mine too. That and 'adult humor' joke books that were big in the 60s.

Not everything is ADHD.

I'm certain that national geographic only exists in bathrooms. That's the reason we have a subscription. . . And my aunts and uncles and parents and cousins.
