What Is Your Current Bog Book?

[ToraToraTora]

Inspired by bednob's loo question. Mine is Tony Robinson's Autobiography - "No cunning Plan" some interesting revelations.

[andy-hughes]

Mine is The Dark Stuff by Nick Kent.

Kent was a rock journalist for the NME among others in the 70's.

When I read how he can write, I have to resist the urge to give up writing because I will never, ever be able to write as well as that.

But then, I get similar impulses whenever I read material by Clive James, Stuart Maconine, Mark Radcliffe, Mark Ellen, David Hepworth, Elvis Costello, or Frank Skinner.

What's a Bog Book?

This is a man thing, Naomi. What men read on the loo. I’ve never known a woman do that.

[naomi24]

Yuk! Who does that? How disgusting!

Cloverjo - // This is a man thing, Naomi. What men read on the loo. I’ve never known a woman do that. //

I only know of one - a guy at work advised me that the daughter of a friend of his read on the loo.

He put it down to her being a Port Vale fan - apparently an explanation for any and all odd behaviour!!

Disgusting? Not if you blow the pages over rather than licking your finger and doing so :-)

the daily telegraph tends to make your arms ache . . .

When I was young, I certainly read in the loo. Probably influenced by my brother as he could do no wrong. There...now you can all think I was a disgusting girl ;)

[Ken4155]

I will sometimes take the racing pages or the crossword up if i think i'm going to be a tad longer than is usual. Depends on what i've eaten in the few hours beforehand, of course.

My current book, which does not go to the bathroom with me, is Laurence Rees' Hitler and Stalin, The Tyrants of the Second World War.

Done it for years and read in the bath

My aunt and uncle who were fortunate winners of the Littlewoods Pools many moons ago bought their dream home and in the downstairs loo they left a notebook and pen so you could write a poem or just leave a description.

And yet, strangely enough, my aunt could be a right snooty mare when she wanted to be.

A pen and notebook to write poems? What a good idea;

Here i sit in contemplative mood
While getting rid of the waste from my food
The only sounds, the extractor fan
And the gentle 'plop', down in the pan.

[LadyCG]

^Yep, that sort of thing.

[SparklyKid]

I go to the loo with TV choice to see what is on tonight.
