I did read somewhere, however, that the act of reading could actually aid in elimination (don't ask me where I read this, but I assure you I was not on the toilet at the time). I do have my own opinion/theory that this is predominantly a "guy thing" (my own research is limited but its my theory and I'm sticking with it). Personally, I spend as little time in the bathroom as I possibly can. Not that that has anything to do with the topic at hand, but it is not conducive to reading.

I used to keep copies of 'Private Eye' premier satirical magazine, in the loo, to impress my friends......God, what does that say about me....now I don't.

Now I have - The Boomer Bible - do any of you know that?

I know what you mean about the three kids though.....I once took a quarter pound bag of cherries....to eat in the loo, so I didn't have to share them.....but then I was a rotten Mum.....they are all still speaking to me though....so they know.....and they 'sometimes' don't want to share.....with their kids.......

Miller wrote among the first serious essays on the subject. It was titled "Reading in the Toilet" (what a surprise) and after stating his opposition he goes on to suggest and recommend works and subject matter appropriate, and inappropriate, to the setting. And though I am dubious about the copyright fairness of Google Books, I'll mention that if you google that title in quotes and follow it with Henry Miller in your query string, it looks like you can read the whole essay online!
