Full Disclosure: I have never read this book in the bathroom. Not even once.

[Roberto Scarlato · Rating 5 out of 5]

Picture this- youre on the john, workin' hard. Many days and nights go by when each time you have to go to the bathroom, like my brother, you are holding your legs tight and squirming to find something to read before you . . . do your business. Look no further. Behold, it's the legendary lost bathroom reader. It is packed full with all the things that a bathroom reader needs: Facts, quizzes, interesting trivia, history, word games, word puzzles, mysterious articles and more. It will keep you busy for hours. You may even find it necessary to take it out of the bathroom and into your reading room. It's a good compilation that makes for a funny, if not a little crude, birthday gift. (P.S. Got it for my brother and he just loves it.)

Take it from me folks, this is one book that delivers on the goods while you're delivering . . . uh . . .something else. Enjoy!

This book is great it has so much information and made me laugh at every turn. I have learned more on the toilet reading this book than I have at school. This is another great bathroom reader. I hope to read more bathroom readers in the future.

This book provides hours of infinite trivia and weird stories. I spent too much time in the bathroom because of this jumbo-sized bathroom reader. This book contains three out-of print Bathroom Readers, which are coincidentally the three Bathroom Readers where you can see the Bathroom Reader format evolving to its modern form. It goes from short little articles about boomer media to longer articles about boomer media and also about everything under the Sun. It is amazing entertainment and only vaguely educational.

Used to buy these all the time when they came out in the 90s.
Picked up this copy in a used book shop.
The Bathroom Reader books are okay. Collections of trivia, anecdotes, behind the scenes stories and other random stuff to keep you occupied when you're...sitting down.

It's amusing, but a bit dated, so word of caution to confirm any information you read in these before sharing with others.

This book had just about everything. It made me cry, frown, laugh and reflect on true events. I bought this book on a whim and it was the best joke-and-more book I've read. I didn't give it a 5-star because it fell in the toilet and ballooned after it dried.... just kidding. I think it needed a bit more organization. So, if you felt like a laugh today - you can turn to that. But if you felt like a true story to lift you up - you can turn to that. Well, this didn't have that feature. Nevertheless a great addition to my library. My sister-in-law nearly stole it for me. It must be that good!

A second compilation of the Uncle John books - this one covering volumes 5, 6 and 7. It definitely has some interesting and humorous material in it. Perfect for short reads and acquiring fun facts to impress your friends with. I especially like the one liners at the bottom of each page.

[Sandra · Rating 5 out of 5]

great book --lots of funny stories and hours worth of reading

[Larry · Rating 4 out of 5]

Total useless trivia, but fun to read when you have a couple of minutes. Fun to read, but hardly remember any of it.

[William · Rating 4 out of 5]

Enjoyable. I used it for exactly what the name suggests!

[Molly]

The entire Uncle John series is addicting and has single-handedly lead to many incidents of me "holding up the line" to the bathroom.

'A cup of coffee' sounds better than 'bathroom', don't you think? :) *thumbs up*
