Apart from the obvious!
I only ask because can't sit on the toilet for any amount of time without something to read or writing materials (very short attention span). The toilet often becomes my "seat of meditation"

lmao @ kchick. I don't mean reading or writing a novel, I read anecdotes or write short poems. I'll try and get more fibre though. ;o)

Same as you. I kinda need summat to read so as to be able to forget all about it and let it out naturally. Otherwise it is so boring is it not?

Why do guys sit on the crapper longer than women? My grandpa used to sit on the toilet for 2 hours and I remember crying by the door, I didn't really have to go but I was so annoyed that he was in there for so long.
Well I just sit there and think about life.
Am I happy with my life? I wonder what's on the news? I better hurry before they FF me. I hope I didn't get pocket Aces while sitting out.

I'm like you I read on there too, I normally take the local paper to read or with Christmas approaching the Argos catalogue is a favourite. I've even been know to do the odd crossword and of course its a great place to contemplate, trouble is as I'm not the only loo reader in our house it isn't vacant for very long. Apparently, reading on the loo isn't very good for you as it can increase your chances of developing piles, well piles or not, I'll always read in there it's the only time I can get any peace!!

#1 and/or #2. Your seat of meditation is going to give you sores on your behind if you make a habit of sitting too long there....if you are sitting there THAT long, then maybe try drinking some prune juice that was warmed in the microwave and eat some applesauce...then I guarantee you that you will not have time to read.

The shorter on the bowl the better. Your muscles in that area are unsupported and this creates a nice little situation for hemmorhoids. If you cannot go get off the pot and come back when you are ready. Drink some some water and walk around to get your innards prepped.

I read. I'm currently reading 'Bully For Brontosaurus' by Stephen J. Gould, and before that it was 'Lucky Starr and the Rings Of Saturn' by Isaac Asimov. It's a good way of getting piles though.

You are not alone, I have got in the habit of having a little 'light reading' in the loo, usually the radio times!
However this seems to have had the unfortunate effect that I nnow need to be reading to pee!

At home, i will have my handphone with me so i will sms my friends or clear my inbox and outbox. At times, i bring in a book or magazine if i know i am going to take long. I do some thinking when i am at workplace.
