Toilet Reads

Flesh that falls from the skies, flashes of green light, phantom hitchhikers - wait this is not an episode of The X-Files, right? Juanita Rose Violini records down all the paranormal, unexplained events to try and confuse the mind of even the most logical thinkers. Also great for dropping bits of trivia in awkward social situations.

If you're more of a trivia and information-in-bite-sizes kind of person, then The Devil's Dictionary is a good selection as you wait for your bowels to move. Ambrose Bierce wittily changes the meaning of seemingly mundane words to reflect life accurate. Case in point: Marriage
(n.) A household consisting of a master, a mistress, and two slaves, making in all, two.

Gaining intellect while expelling waste one short story at a time.

Read this one when you're in the comfort of your own home and not pooping in public - you don't want to have the added stress of imagining yourself in shit-uations like the author did.

Perhaps a little reflection about life as you go about on your #2 will be beneficial. Paul Coelho does an excellent job with gratitude, motivation and contentment in this novel.

Macabre situations and depraved humour - always a good thing in our books!

You don't want to be starting and stopping on a huge book like Anna Karenina - so a comic is best for when you're on the crapper. You might already be all caught up with the recent season of The Walking Dead, but there's no reason not to make book/TV show comparisons obnoxiously.
