Does anyone else read these books? There books of trivia articles to read while your on the toilet. I don't read them on the toilet a lot, though. I enjoy eading them before bed and on car rides. They are very interesting, featuring little tid bits and articles on everything from history to pop culture. They are availble at most book stores, and of course on the intarwebs. Pick one up today!

So far, I have the Absolutley Absorbing, Unstoppable, Fast-Acting Long-Lasting, Slightly Irregular, Gigantic, and Biggest Ever Bathroom Readers.

I think I remember having one of those. I let BTG borrow it one day, and he had it taken away because he was reading it in class.

I'm sorry, it was either read it in class or get it red flagged. Which would you prefer?

So...BTG was sitting on a toilet in class reading the book?

Yeah, I'm gonna leave that one alone.

I have one of the books lying around. It was a Christmas present or something. Not a bad way to waste some time.

YES! Thank you, guys! I know a single other person who's heard of them around here; everyone else who knows knows because of my introducing them to the books.

Personally, my favourite bits are the bumper stickers and newspaper headline segments, and who can't love the running feet, I implore you? I've learned more from them than I have from a lot of more attemptedly informative things... =P

I have several of these. My uncle introduced them to me. They're my car trip and boredom books. They're the BEST if you have nothing to do. :mrgreen:

Whenever I get a new one, I always read it front to back--sad, huh?

I have five of them, but I don't remember them by title. I also have Thr Book of the Dumb.

Not sad at all. I love those things. They're the best reads ever.

Yeah, I've got a couple of these things. They're awesome, if you ask me.

I used to get the newest one every year for my birthday.

i saw some in the book shop the other day. i wanted to get it, but dad says i have enough books at his house already, a grand total of 4. but, i've already read them all before. yet, my sister was allowed a book because she doesn't have a book. more like, dad has bought her heaps of books, she just doesn't want to read them. how unfair is that?

still, i read it in the book shop. i thought it was really funny.

My dad wouldn't care. He likes it when I read.

Wait, your dad didn't want you to read and have books?

What kind of freakish parents are they letting out of Adult School nowadays anyway? Aren't parents supposed to instill a love of reading and care for and nurture it? So obviously your dad should have gotten it for you becaue it's his Adult Duty!

his duty is to decide what i like, spending as less money as possible.
