Title: On the toilet...
Post by: republic on January 09, 2007, 04:38:31 PM
...what do you read?

Currently my bathroom reader is "The Encyclopedia of Aircraft of WWII" a discount book I picked up that has actually got some very interesting information in it.  In case I'm not in the mood, I have John Hodgman's "The Areas of my Expertise"...and finally...a Squadron mail order modeling magazine.

What do you fellas use to 'facilitate' the evacuation of...er...ya.  :)

I just finished Soundings.  I'm just now scouring through the classified in the back seeing if I can find a ridiculously good deal on a boat.


But now I'm reading a book on sail trim.  It's summing up in about 20 pages what it took me 400 pages of a more difficult book to learn.

they are fun aren't they?

if anyone is wondering, basically a book full of random trivia, and junk. 500 pages of single page blurbs mostly.

Often I pass the time (and this will sound odd) doing long division by memory.  Otherwise, there's a Cabela's Archery catalog.
