Do you read in the Bathroom?

Labib Rahman · 06-04-2009, 02:04 PM

Hi. As an avid reader and with exams and a strict mother, I spend large amounts of time in the bathroom to read. Do you read in the bathroom as well (not necessarily for the same reasons, although a strict spouse could replace a strict mother) ? Do you think it's weird to read in the bathroom, unaware that you are done with your business?

Let's see, shall we?

Do I read in the bathroom? Of course. Doesn't everyone?

desertgrandma · 06-04-2009, 02:14 PM

What Elsi said.

Of course I'm in the tub while I'm doing it......

JSWolf · 06-04-2009, 02:16 PM

I too read in the bathroom. How else can I find time to read so much.

I also read in the tub. reading on the pot makes my legs fall asleep. the ex would wander off to the throne with a book and an hour or so later I'd realize he had never returned

my dad always swore that "pot" reading gave him the 'rhoids

excuse me, but I don't think this poll is as private as Labib expected........

Peverel · 06-04-2009, 02:30 PM

Yes both in the bath and on the throne. I even got an Aquapaq case for my reader to I don't have to worry about dropping it (in the bath that is)

What! Why? I left the release poll results option 'unticked'. How can people see them?

Labib Rahman · 06-04-2009, 02:35 PM

Since not a single negative result has come up, I believe I am asking in the wrong place. Mobileread is meant for all of us who read in the bathroom. The people who would answer no are evidently not members of this site.

zelda_pinwheel · 06-04-2009, 02:41 PM

when i was a child i would lock myself in the bathroom for the sole reason of reading undisturbed (i didn't have my own bedroom and "personal space" was largely an unknown concept). if i had a bathtub, i would read in the bath, however i have only a shower. so i voted "no, but i think it's normal". as for other options, i have far more comfortable places to sit in my house, and i really don't want to spend that much time in there. it's the smallest room in the house and the tile floor is *cold*.

d00d! you have come to reading addicts! it's like asking a group of alcoholics if there is any WRONG place to drink!

Oh, Labib, I'm sorry..........

what I meant was there were 6 responses, and 6 positive votes........hence everyone voted the same!

You are doing fine.

desertgrandma · 06-04-2009, 03:15 PM

There you see

? Someone has voted "No, and I think thats weird."

Course, REAL readers will read anywhere.........
