I bought more books than I read, and I definitely watched more TV than I read, but I still am in the 20th percentile. That is sad.

Am I the only one that has a "throne" book?

My brother has a full bookshelf in his bathroom (hands reach from the toilet). I think that is a bit much, but he is as in to reading, as I am in to the outdoors.

I read pulp and paper industry publications while in the can. Oh, and logging journals.

Darn it! I went to the bathroom and realized that I am just as bad. I had not really thought about it before now but I have more magazines in my bathroom than any doctor's office to which I have ever been.

I must be corrupting my boys 'cause I have Maxims, Mountain Bike Action, and various other assorted mags on the back of the throne that only get changed out when the next months issue comes :lol8:

I own a lot of books, but I haven't purchased any in the last year. I thought that purchasing books would make me smarter, but it turns out you need to actually read them for that to happen.
