I keep a writing tablet and pen and pencil within reach of the toilet. I think about things and write notes (in between farts) on what I want to accomplish in the near future.

Would have a magazine rack next to the john
Older homes sometimes had a magazine cubby built into the wall next to the toilet.
Some nicer hotels used to have a phone installed on the wall next to the toilet. At work, it’s common for people to be on conference calls while sitting in a stall. Culture.

Ever since I was a teenager I always kept a copy of Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy and the latest issue of SI on the back of the toilet. No magazines now, but the book remains.

Read the Sears catalog before crumpling it up as bum wipe.

Readers Digest, Mags, newpapers. Whatever I had in the magazine rack. Still have a rack next to the toilet. It is also the access to my shower piping.

It's weird knowing that my shitter material is now being installed in a museum.

I bought my Dad a magazine rack/toilet paper holder
Two rolls, half a dozen magazines, and you're there for the duration.
