Toilet libraries...

[vernon]

Are they a man only phenomenon?

What's in yours?

What makes a good read?

I currently have 'Elephants on Acid' and a damned good read it is too. Back up is provided by maps covering Budapest to Constanta on Eurovelo Six and November's Gauge O Guild Magazine.

I think they're the phenomenon of people who don't eat enough fibre.

My library is not bad, but it hasn't got toilets - you have to go into the carpark outside. (where the toilets are - not to go to the toilet)

A man died in there a few years ago - in the toilet not the library

I once fell asleep in the outside toilet of the Turks Head in Darlington and woke up well after closing time.

Don't lick you

No book, but crossword puzzles.

Don't lick your pencil before writing with it!

Here is a swimming pool that I had a skinny-dipping/love-making-on-a-diving-board session at.

I really have to state my concern about your levels of inebriation at the time cos I can't see a diving board!!

There was one in 1985 - things change in 26 years. It was a single 1m springboard. I can feel the gritty (non-slip) surface on my back and bum even now.

Back to the library theme.....

What makes for a good read:

Something challenging like: ' À la recherche du temps perdu' in the native tongue of the author

or

Fat Freddie's Cat compendium in easily read page length installments...

Thanks Vern, I haven't laughed out loud like that in ages.

Thanks Vern, I haven't laughed out loud like that in ages.

The book's full of similar cartoons and is a bargain at £12.50 or so on Amazon

It is the envy of visiting fellow toilet library owners.

Have you been looking in my toilet? I've got a copy of A l'ombre des jeunes filles en fleurs - it's been there untouched for about 3 years, open on page 248. There was a sentence about half a page long that I reread about 5 times without really having a clue what it was saying because by the time I got to the end of it, I'd forgotten the beginning. The Robert Dictionnaire des expressions et locutions sits on top of it and gets read regularly.

I've also got a reasonably large collection of poetry in there.
