My parents' favorite book was "Cheaper by the Dozen." (If you haven't already read it, you MUST!!! One of the funniest true stories ever written!) As a result, they, as the patriarch in the book did, put bookshelves next to the toilet in the kid's bathroom in our house and stocked it with the Britanica Encyclopedia of the late 40's-early 50's. By the time I was 12 I had read A-Z twice. Not only did it give me a wonderfully diverse education, it instilled in me a great love of reading. We called that room 'the library.' (Great lighting!) There have always been stacks of books in my bathrooms ever since!
