Bathroom Books
What's next to your toilet? Either being read now or still just sitting there. Not books you want to say are there to sound intellectual or cool, just the one's really there. This has probably been done before, but books change and it seems like a good way to get new ideas about interesting books to read.
Here's mine:
Confederacy of Dunces
Ulysses
A Clockwork Orange
The Bell Jar
Catcher in the Rye
Good Omens
The Pleasure of My Company - Steve Martin's second work
American Gospel
In His Image - Book One of the Christ Clone Trilogy
Lord Jim
As She Lay Dying
Various Reader's Digest and Sports Illustrated

Man, all you classy dames with your real books in the bathroom....
I have several Calvin and Hobbes collections. I'm just not all that big on reading in there I suppose. I prefer to be outdoors or in the bay window in our den.

I had a Dilbert collection and a Calvin and Hobbes in my college apartment. I liked to read them while smoking out the bathroom with the door closed.

I must be the only one who does not read in the bathroom.
 I feel excluded.

I don't keep any books in the bathroom on purpose, really, but some tend to migrate there of their own accord. A Briefer History of Time and The Encyclopedia of World Mythology keep popping up. And I have a long-standing love of Garfield comics, so I can usually find the fat cat on the prowl.
Otherwise, I just carry my current book around wherever I go, so it gets some time in the bathroom throughout the day.

I read it a few months ago, Frabes, but it's still sitting there, and I like flipping through it at times. I love quirky/mental characters.

I don't leave books in the bathroom, but sometimes I take one in.

Magazines like National Geographic and Discover. Sometimes Grimm's Fairy Tales or some other mythology/folklore/short story anthology. Occasionally reading for class, but don't tell professor I brought Thoreau in there with me...
