Places to Go, While You Go

The Toilet Papers

Jolie

Ever wanted a good book to read on the toilet? Well, you are in luck with The Toilet Papers: Places to go, while you Go because it is the perfect bathroom book. Now, I will admit, I didn’t read this book while on the toilet. My thinking was that a Kindle near water (any sorts) and my inherent clumsiness would end up being a disaster. So, I read it from the comfiness of my couch (in between bingeing with BK on Stranger Things). I can’t even begin to express how much I enjoyed this book. I was horrified during parts, laughing during other and a strange combination of the two during even other parts of the book.

The Toilet Papers: Places to go, while you Go is separated into 3 categories:

Number One

Number Two

Farfrompoopin

Each section is tailored for if you are going Number One, Number Two or if you are like BK and a lot of time in the bathroom: Farfrompoopin. Each section also has stories tailored for the amount of time that you would spend in the bathroom:

Number One–Short Stories

Number Two—Longer Short Stories

Farfrompoopin–Even Longer Short Stories

There are a couple of stories that really stood out to me in each section:

Number One:

Roadside Vendor. Let’s just say that I will never look at hot dog stands/lunch trucks that same way after reading that short story. It freaked me out…lol.

Picture Window. Just plain creepy.

Number Two:

As Fate Would Have It: Again, a creepy story that stayed with me.

Black Friday: A spin on Black Friday that made me shake my head. Very creepy

Farfrompoopin:

The Web We Weave: I actually got into this story because I could see some drunk college girl doing this and then regretting it

The Sword of Kusanagi (from Clifton Chase and the Arrow of Light): I reviewed Clifton Chase a while back for the author and this chapter of the book was one of my favorites.

This is a book that I would definitely buy as a gift and for myself, so BK could have a book to read in the bathroom.

How many stars will I give The Toilet Papers: places to go, while you Go: 4

Why: A well-written book of short stories that will keep your attention while you are using the bathroom.

Will I reread: Yes

Will I recommend to family and friends: Yes

Age range: Adult

Why: Some violence, some language
