I don't get it.  My husband can go to the bathroom 3 times and day and sit and read 30 minutes each time.  My girls and I, a couple minutes,  we are done and outta there.  Dad gets made fun of a lot in our home.

I don't think it's weird at all. It's idle that you might as well be taking advantage of!

My husband does that and I can't understand it, because I like to be in and out of that bathroom as quick as possible, life is too short!  I also think it is really nasty because you can't wash a book - he has a little pile of books in there and I call them his sh** books.

NO!  i used to have a guy roommate who would take my people magazines to read while he was doin his biz and once they were in there i considered them toxic.   then i couldn't read them!   it made me so mad!

I do read! I actually picked this habit up from my dad! He would go in and I would follow. After allowing the proper "airing out" and he would leave his reading material there and I would pick it up! Now any chance I get I read in there! I'm a stay at home mom so when my guy gets home I sneak into the bathroom and read while daddy and son play. Sometimes I read even after the shorter visits just to get a few mins of quiet reading in!! big smile mini
