3. "The Discworld Companion"...
which lists everything you ever wanted to know about Terry Pratchett's Discworld books.

"Plague" - a horrible medical thriller about a nutcase killing patients at a hospital with little individual acts of bioterrorism.

45. haha, me too
w/r/t Musicians Friend catalog, at least I used to; I haven't received a catalog from them for a while because I haven't ordered anything in a while.

I also have a bunch of randier titles piled on the tile, which happens when you work in the adult publishing industry.

22. Who the heck actually reads in the bathroom?
I'm in there 2-3 minutes tops. I don't have time to open a book before I'm done. Frankly, I can think of better places to hang out.

28. It's probably the one room without reading material
Personally, I'd rather sit on the couch or a chair when I'm reading. :shrug: Or maybe it's just all the fiber I eat, but I usually don't have a lot of time to dawdle in there. :)

42. We had Cantebury Tales printed in micronized print on our toilet paper.
Each sheet has the entire text.

We had the Perkin Elmer company polish our bathroom mirror into a replica of the Hubble Telescopes mirror, but unfortunately most times when you hold the toilet paper up to it, it's slightly out of focus.
