National Bathroom Reading Month was just announced on NPR. It seems appropriate, after the last item.

"Would you like a free bathroom reader?" the woman featured in the news piece asks as she hands out articles and stories. She says people are shy about admitting to reading in the john.

I don't think they should be encouraging lengthy reading retreats to users of the public johns in NYC (that's where this promotion took place). They're needed by more than four people an hour (15 minutes max per user.) Read somewhere else--like on the subway.
