Okay this may gross some of you out or offend some of you but I have to say it: Reading while sitting on the toilet is a really bad habit! 
I have friends who will come over and take my books in there with them - and these things are like my children I love them so - and read while doing you know what. So every time I pick up that book I have to imagine them holding it in one hand while they wipe their ass with the other, which is not fun. What is even grosser is when I go over to my friends' houses and they have a rack of magazines next to the toilet! That is just disgusting. Why do they have to make an EXPERIENCE out of taking a dump? I just go in there like a soldier and get the job done. It's not supposed to be like an educational experience when you defecate. It's a bodily function, not a busride! Also I have heard that reading while on the toilet makes you sit on the toilet longer, and this causes hemorrhoids.  This has been a public service announcement from your friendly neighborhood cranky old man. posted by holy_of_holies |

 holy_of_holies: It's not supposed to be like an educational experience when you defecate. Dear ruler of the world, if we cannot read while defecating, can we read while breathing? BOTH are body functions. holy_of_holies: Also I have heard that reading while on the toilet makes you sit on the toilet longer, and this causes hemorrhoids. This is a myth pushed by the "hemmorhoid mafia" (= the ones who sell you ointments), because hemmoroids are caused by
With the same right (= the same right to state nonsense) I could claim that reading on the toilet lowers the risk of hemmorhoids because it trains your intestine muscles. posted by knn |

I suppose holy's contention is just about the fact that you're using the same hands to handle the books.. 
Cmoon don't make like an appointment to go sit there and 'read in peace' for goodness' sake.. the only reason people do that is because they think they can get an uninterrupted bit of time there as opposed to elsewhere whence there may be chances of pests. Then again, not everyone can go to a remote mountaintop to catch some alone-time. posted by ryder |

I find it disgusting, unhygienic, undignified and somewhat kinky. Your friends should have a bidet next to the bowl instead of a rack of magazines. Yuck! When I first discovered that these people existed I immediately stopped reading library books. posted by eddiebubble |
