This is one great book for reading the short thoughtful and sometimes very funny, and perhaps even serious stories while in the bathroom.
I usually read it a story at a time when evacuating myself (if you know what I mean… and NO, you cannot ask for pictures). The stories and text seems to be perfected timed and written to allow for the initial sit down, to push, to rest, to push, to another rest, to the five minute half time, to push, rest, the final push for any remanants, and the final TP cleaning process. Perfect length of the stories timed to your numbers two’s. This rates the book five stars all by itself.
Signed,

(My septic tank in Decatur is frozen, ask for pictures)
p.s. Some of the topics include:
1. celebrity museums
3. where Hitler’s nephew lived in New York
7. how to do an authentic rain dance
19. two time toilet tomeinging
2. pop culture
5. forgotten history
88. really strange butt true lawsuits
20. really weird noises heard where else.. in the bathroom

I rate this book as FIVE WHOLE COMPLETE STARS and SO WILL YOU.
Goodbye again.

These books are informative and entertaining in their own offbeat humorous presentation. You can’t go wrong whether purchasing for yourself or for a gift.

Most people are quite content with going through life and not knowing anything or even wondering about things that are continually going on around them.As a matter of fact,they would have no way of finding the answer to their question,even if it occurred to them.
Now, one doesn’t have to be crippled with such an affliction.Just get hold of one of Uncle John’s Bathroom Readers and head to the throne room.
It doesn’t really matter which edition you start with;they are all excellent and much the same. You will be surprised when you visit your local “big box” bookstore and find a whole section of them.I dare say that there are more of them on display than any other book series in the store. Amazon also has an extensive selection available,particularly for those who live outside cities.The thing I really like about these readers ,is that you just never know what is coming next as you turn the pages.The thing you do know ,is that it is going to be something you may have heard about,may even know a bit about it;but in any case ;as Paul Harvey says;”Now For The Rest Of The Story”.
Ever since I was a kid,I loved Ripley’s “Believe It or Not!” and continue to look forward to new books to come out.Uncle John’s Readers are somewhat the same.If You have ever read one and enjoyed it;you’ll just never get enough of them.The reason is there is just so many interesting things and people in the world to know about;that the source of material is endless.
Where else, than in a book like this, are you ever going to find out something like this.From the little liner at the bottom of page 342,we learn;
“De-throned King George II fell to his death…from a toilet seat.”
or how about this bit of Movie Trivia to stump the experts? on pg 412;
“First time the flushing of a toilet was heard on the big screen:
Psycho (1960)”
Or,getting away from bathrooms ,find out about the Mafia.It didn’t start in America ,in New York or Chicago, in the 1920′s as many would think.It started in New Orleans,in the 1870′s .In 1890 members of that city’s Provenzano family assassinated the Chief of Police David Hennessey as he was preparing to testify in court against them.Uncle Dave will fill you in with the rest of the story. pg.501
