The bathroom is not a place where I care to do my reading.

55. A stack of 1970's "National Geographic" that I dragged home from work.
I don't actualy read them; I keep cheap SciFi novels
on top of the stack and read them
at an average rate of 4 pages per day.

I'm currently 35 pages into Robert E Toomy's "A World of Trouble";
it's utter tripe. But it gives my eyes something to do
when I'm on the throne, knowhutImean?

Lots of fiber and a decent amount of exercise means there's no need for reading material, if you get my drift.
