Random poll here.  I'm not sure there is a delicate way to ask this, so here it goes.

How many people out there are like me and MUST read when on the toilet? 

I'm not talking about liquid dispersion, but definetely solid waste elimination.  And I'm not talking about a preference, an activity to while away the time, or a way to multi-task.  I'm talking about a compulsion.  I'm talking about a need to read in order to accomplish fully and well the task at hand.  If there isn't a book, you read the shampoo bottle or the back of any packaging within reach. 

I have a theory that this is all somehow connected to the creative process.  That for something to "come out" there is the need for something to be taken in.  Now, logically, it seems like food is what was taken in, but maybe, for us creative types, it has to be something more internal and more immediately present?  

I don't know.  I look forward to hearing other's thoughts (but that might be a mistake:)
