I have some interesting information I just found. Bathroom reading has a long history going back to at least the 1700s. I believe that even the ancient Romans had bathroom graffiti to read.

And boy, people have sure given this subject a lot of thought. I wonder where they were while thinking about this.
Quote:Bathroom reading is the act of reading text while in a bathroom, usually while sitting on the toilet and defecating. The practice has been common throughout history and remains widespread today with both printed material and smartphones.

Quote:Bathroom reading and psychology
Even when people read for extended periods of time during defecation, it is rare for bathroom readers to feel disgusted by the smell of their own feces, or even to consciously notice the smell.[8][9] Sigmund Freud also noted this phenomenon in Civilization and Its Discontents, though he described lack of awareness of fecal smell in general, not just while reading: "in spite of all man's developmental advances, he scarcely finds the smell of his own excreta repulsive, but only that of other people's."[10]
