Uncle John's Bathroom Reader (Series)

I recently stumbled across this series picking up The UJBR Plunges into Music. I was surprised how good it was with alot of infomation i never knew. And it's amazingly fun and addicting to read. My wife loves it too since we both listen to alot of music. So i took a look at what else is in the series and shocked at how many books there are. And yes i rather read it in bed and not on the toilet thank you.

Any recomendations?

I have to admit though,i feel a little funny if i end up with more of these little treasures and can just see having friend over asking why do you have a shelf of books that are made to read while taking a crap.

I had the "Absolutely Absorbing" and the "Aah Inspiring" ones which were pretty good. There's a big edition that collects like the first 3 or so. I've always been interested in the themed ones, like History, but never got around to them.

I got the Slightly Irregular edition for Christmas one year. It's fun. I have it in my bathroom next to some reader's digests.

I got into those books a few years ago. I enjoyed them so much I ended up reading through them in the car or before I went to bed instead of in the bathroom.

It's been a few years though, so maybe it's time to bust them out again.

I have one of these. I think it was half price at Border's. I do all my reading in the bathroom.

(Honestly).

I read magazines in the bathroom. And sometimes catalogs.

I save books for my work commute.

(quietly hopes you take the bus/train)



We have a couple of them and we need to get more because we've read them cover to cover multiple times. The history one is nice, but I kinda get into that anyways, so YMMV.

I just searched on Amazon, and there's 48 of them! I have the Best of and I think I'll break it out soon.

I read my copy outside of the bathroom. I don't spend enough time in there to justify reading a newspaper, let alone a book.
