Happy National Bathroom Reading Month

Window display from Liberty’s Dept Store, London. Image via
Seriously; June is National Bathroom Reading Month. It is the brainchild of the Bathroom Readers’ Institute, publishers of the Uncle John’s Bathroom Reader series. With over 10 million books in print they are clearly in a room of their own.
Here’s their pitch:
“Since 1988, the Bathroom Readers’ Institute has led the movement to stand up for those who sit down and read in the bathroom. National Bathroom Reading Month celebrates the 66 percent of Americans who proudly admit to this time-honored pastime.”
What do the other 34% do?
Coming soon:
 Also on the docket this year, the First Annual “Free Flushes for All Day”:
To mark the Bathroom Readers’ Institute’s inaugural “Free Flushes for All Day,” Uncle John’s Bathroom Reader representatives will be stationed outside of select Automatic Public Toilets (APTs) in New York City (Madison Square Park) on Thursday, June 19, 2008 from 7:00 am — 2:00 pm, and in San Francisco (Fisherman’s Wharf) on Friday, June 20, 2008 from 10:00 am — 4:00 pm, treating those who have to go, by picking up the 25 cent tab and giving users a free commemorative Uncle John’s Bathroom Reader National Bathroom Reading Month mini book for some prime time bathroom reading material!
