Those who have stayed at mine will of noticed that my 'bathroom reading' material is all reference material, be it programming, OS, or electronics (not to Mr DTM's level, obviously!).

On hols, I may read the odd 'story book', but just tend to pick up one of hers rather than have my own.  Tends to be John Grisham and Dan Brown with her.  I read that Da Vinci Code in Egypt (had plenty of 'toilet time'  :-[), what a crock of cack. The book that is.

If I'd had something to read in Egypt half the pages would have been missing!  :-[ ;D

Just out of curiosity, generalising a bit; we work, we have a swmbo, or if lucky 2, we have kids, houses, gardens and cars, and most importantly oof, where do you find the time to read????
