Why do some people need to read in the bathroom?

It's not that serious I read in the bathroom (and I am a reader I don't just read there I read every day probably go through 8 to 10 books a month)mainly because I don't like to sit there and just stare at the wall. You can occupy your mind while you are doing your business nothing wrong with that

It is a way for mothers of little kids to get atleast a few minutes to herself

I think there are a couple of reasons people read in the bathroom. One is that it takes a long time to do their business and they want something to take their mind off it (more fiber and water would help with this problem). Two it is a sanctuary from other distractions and responsibilities (get away from it all for a short time). Three they are bored.  Personally I don't see anything wrong with reading in the bathroom as long as you aren't preventing others from using the bathroom when they need it.

LOL..I never read in the bathroom.. I guess some people like to read in there, but I prefer to read in the bedroom.

If you have a family or a big family, it's one way of getting away from it all.  I guess for some it's their time to relax.

OMG!! My husband has his morning habit of getting up, grabbing his cofffee and paper and off to the bathroom he goes!!! I have never been able to do that, I get it, get my business done and get out!   I think it is more of a man thing!

I used to read when I had a job and couldn't do my business on my own time.  It helped to get my mind off all the things that were going on and just relax.  It's much quicker now that I'm retired and in control of my activities.

for a lot of people they need to "relax" in order to go to the toilet, sitting there for an hour with a book should be plenty of time relaxing.  You may not appreciate it, but it could be the only way he can relax on the can.

It just relaxes you while you do your do.

I think that the bathroom is usually quiet and it's just relaxing to get away from all the noise and interruptions that occur in the house.
