      MISTRESS MADDIE: And your toilet reading material of choice is?

    I do sometimes, when faced with a difficult boulder I will open the drawer and start reading the list of ingredients or the direction of use on bottles.

      MITZI: You’d love it here in Canada where all the packing is in two languages: English and French.

      You could be constipated yet never have a dull moment.

      And by "packing" I mean "packaging."

    Something tells me this chap isn't reading.
    More like he's "looking."

      NORMA: Like reading Playboy just for the articles.

      Which in your case is probably true.

    Lately, I've been reading those free at the supermarket mini real estate magazines that catalogue all real estate for sale in the region--houses, farms, land, businesses, condos, grand mansions and compounds, tiny houses, even trailer homes, etc. I like looking at the pics of various architecture and landscape and compare and contrast the variety in the area. Most surprising item so far: Someone selling a fish breeding farm!

      For a style critique, see here.

      I confess that I like to trawl real estate sites for some geographical areas where I'd like to live. And for horrible interiors.

      MAGO: Thank you for the link to that article about noise. The Mistress loves peace and quiet but the urban soundscape is cacophonous.

      As for horrible interiors, they have the same effect on The Mistress as Crocs.

    Never have, never will.
    Perhaps with the only exception, if I ever should publish a novel and should have to read a review. Then I'd be tempted to follow Max Reger and say : "I sit in the smallest room of the house. I have your review in front of me. Soon I'll leave it behind me."

    “All my good reading, you might say, was done in the toilet. There are passages in Ulysses which can be read only in the toilet - if one wants to extract the full flavour of their content.” - Henry Miller

      JON: I never made it through Ulysses.

      Perhaps if I’d read it on the toilet.

      James Joyce would give me constipation. Jx

      JON: Undoubtedly, Joyce is a legend … but not in my mind.

    Admittedly I've browsed a MACYs sale flyer. Which is just asking for trouble, yes? I mean, if I'm going to check out on the crapper like Elvis I'd rather they find me and mr. doody with a Neiman Marcus holiday catalog.

    I love to read, but I've never even considered doing so on the toilet. When I'm on the toilet, I'm busy. Do these other people just think it's an oddly shaped chair?

    [more or less related, sorry]

    Dearest Mistress, you mentioned somewhere that you read this book titled Fire & Fury (and perhaps some brimstone) by WOLFF. Critics say that it is pretty boulevardesque - I can not say something about it, simply because I have not read it.
    May I bring to your attention two books by David Cay JOHNSTON about the subject in the White House ?
    An earlier one called The Making of a swine, and the new one It's even worse ... about the actual shenanigans of the orange Kotzbrocken (sorry).
    It is good journalism - JOHNSTON received his pulitzer not for nothing, well researched - and (as I read in German reviews) frightening.

      MAGO: Thank you. I shall make note of the Johnston book however, I simply can’t read another Trump tell-all at this time.

      I’ve read two books in a row about narcissistic arseholes: “Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House” and “Sticky Fingers: The Life and Times of Jann Wenner and Rolling Stone Magazine.”

    Never. My books and reading materials are kept away from moisture. I am wary of inexplicable stains.

      MISS SCARLET: The scourge of germs is enough to keep them separate.

      And really, would YOU pick up a well-thumbed magazine by the toilet in someone else's house? Not me!

    I admit that I'm a little behind in my reading, but never there!

      LX: “Lesbian Limbo?” I mistook the meaning of the word “limbo” at first and wondered why the ladies weren’t sliding under a big stick.
