who else keeps a basket or other container of reading material in their bathrooms?
That's what the top of the dryer is for.
Wash: I'm not leaving her side, Mal. Don't ask me again. Mal: I wasn't asking. I was telling.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Ann, that's a ferret.
I got general "get your nose out of that book, go outside and play" as well as "no reading at the table." Parents didn't mind my reading in the car because I couldn't read and fight with my brother at the same time. Reading in the bathroom (but not in the bath) was tolerated as long as I didn't spend too much time.
No storage space for reading materials in a bathroom here.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I tried to read while riding my bike.
That experiment didn't last long.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I successfully read while riding my bike, for almost a year.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
We have a basket that hooks onto the top tank of the toilet for magazines. Plus I take a bath almost every cool night (ultra dry skin--must get oil all over self--doctor's orders--lucky me!) and ALWAYS read in the tub. It's my most favorite thing.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Suddenly, I fear for Matilda. The instinct to try it is obviously bred in the bone, but her chances of success are a toss-up.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
I've been known to read while stopped at traffic lights.
My copy of the new Temeraire book was in Federal Way as of yesterday, which means it damn well better be at my house tonight.
Must stop pre-ordering books now that there's a B&N 10 minutes from my house.

Punishingly Intricate
I read the paper as I walk the dog in the morning. Sometimes before it's fully light out so I'm reading by street lamp.
ETA AND it's a sucky paper!

Thrive to spite them
I read at stop lights too! Only long ones, though.
I have reading material in the bathroom, I don't have a magazine rack or anything, but I usually have something that I can look through.

I once saw two people reading Deathly Hallows as they walked in one day. This pleased me.
