Based off my other thread where someone mentioned keeping a textbook on the toilet tank.
What (if any) literature do you keep in the lavatory? I generally cycle through Onion collections and/or comics collections (Foxtrot, Calvin & Hobbes, etc). There's also some old copies of Discover and Popular Science that can be disposed of at this point.
As an aside, my mother hates the idea of people reading in the bathroom and thinks it to be very uncouth.

Wow. Regular ol' Joph fan club in here.
I excrete efficiently. No time for reading, so no reading materials.
I've got stacks of comics, graphic novels, and the occasional SI issue stashed under the sink. Comics are great for #2, only 22 pages with lots of pictures.

I read, on occasion, just to force myself to stay in there: usually catalogs, US Weekly, that kind of thing. I'm the kind of person that will think of something else to do and not stay put, then next thing I know, I have digestive issues. I read somewhere that men are better than women at taking their time in the restroom.

Usually the ads from the Sunday newspaper with stuff that I know hubby, kids and I want. So when hubby goes in to do his business and he's flipping through the ads, he sometimes gets the hint. 
Parents magazine and whatever other magazines we happen to pick up. Pretty boring, I know.
What's bred in the bone will not out of the flesh.
My Bad, a collection of famous and infamous apologies. Seems appropriate.
In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

I am guessing you have no kids.
Last night I replaced Foxtrot with the 10th Anniversary edition of Calvin & Hobbes.
Additional material includes a Fantaasy Football guide and whatever book my wife is currently devouring.
About two years worth of ripped out pages of newsweek comics.
I have 3 magazine subscriptions. Maxim,Time, and Snowboarder magazines which are spread out between my two bathrooms.
Speaking of which, it's probably time to go through and throw the older ones away.

Some people are like slinkies, they aren't really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.
The downstairs bathroom has two shelves directly in front of the toilet, full of primarily Playboys along with some FHMs and a handful of Guitar Magazines. Upstairs there are a few Pentohuses and some Asian teen sex mags under the sink.
My personal favorite is my Leonard Maltin's Movie Guide. An old friend of mine had an Uncle John's Bathroom Reader which is pretty cool.

No reading material in my bathroom. Like someone else said, I really don't stay in there long enough to need it.
Fiber ftw!
Fiber ftw!
I'm pretty quick too, but I keep a stack of around a dozen double digest Archies in there. Once my mom came over and I saw her reading an Archie (I have hundreds) and I recognized it as one of my bathroom ones. I snatched it right out of her hands and told her the "bathroom Archies" NEVER leave the bathroom. I also told her not to take any in there because then it's banished and I already have too many in there.

I've got a book that has blurbs of supposed haunted sites around the country. Also the Onion. I very rarely need to read in the bathroom, but if I do, and Im in the middle of a book, Ill just bring that.
The Onion Ad Nauseam Volume Four and a couple Weird NJs from time to time.

My wife didn't believe me that Weird NJ was real, so I have to break out my old editions.

ahem
I was just reading ine, It's actually called a "Strategic Atlas: A Comparative Geopolitics of the Modern World".
Along with that I have the juggernaught of a book called "The Timetables of History" which basically is waht it says.
There is the Guinness Book of Records... 2000.. hehe. which has been there since I have lived here.
My roomate is responsible for the various television guides and Pennysavers...
I used to keep some Historical Atlases there as well, but for some reason my roomate kept moving them out of there... I wonder why
so yeah..
We should prolly get a rack.
incidentally, the men's room at work has an overflowing hard plastic magazine "pocket" on the wall and a pile of magazines on the floor. Never a dull moment ******** there.

Just the daily newspaper for me.
I too, used to find reading in the bathroom odd behavior. But I think it has something to do with it being a nice, little, private sanctuary. Also, I hate going more than 2 minutes without any sort of mental stimulation, be it TV, radio, internet, newspaper, magazines, just something other than staring at the tile.

I was drunk, so who knows what I ended up doing...
I play Mario Kart Wi-Fi on my Nintendo DS. Unfortunately, this tends to lead to exceptionally long bathroom breaks.
