I cannot speak highly enough of the Bathroom Reader set of books. Now this isn't sit down and read it all at once type stuff; this is the sort of book that will need to be read and enjoyed in brief installments - I think you take my meaning.

Here's the truest praise I think I can give this b0ok: I had decided, somewhere along the line, that after I finished I would put the book in faculty restro0om here at my school. Give others the chance to learn something during their mini-break time. But then I decided I would make first copies of some of the more interesting pages and pages I might find useful in the classroom (quotes, brain-teasers, literature-related articles, etc.). I ended up placing so many page markers that to make copies would have been overwhelming. It makes more sense for me to just keep the book.

This book is actually two books long and was inexpensive at the bookstore I frequent because it was on the clearance shelves - definitely worth the money, even if it had been full price. I think he re-read value is also there. Anyhow, great series of books, well worth the money, and a greay way to spend those mini-sitdown-vacations.

As usual, these books are #1 at entertaining while you in the middle of #2. I’m sure others are guilty of extended stays, particularly when in the middle of a particularly interesting story.

Worth the time spent reading and highly recommended.
