My family had dedicated bathroom reading that sat on the top of every toilet cistern. Usually something like a Far Side comic collection or an "Uncle John's Bathroom Reader."


My extended family still has some old copies of Reader's Digest compilations hanging around the bathroom.

Edit: those books are basically the print version of reddit's front page of posts from r/interestingasfuck, r/todayilearned, r/MadeMeSmile etc.


It seemed like Reader's Digest magazine existed solely for this purpose, if you grew up in the 60s-70s. Better form factor too.


There should have been a specific edition for toilet reading called The Fart Side.
