    Do you read in the toilet, and what reading material usually goes in there?

    yes, to the point where if I have to go really bad, I've still ran around the house looking for a book. my partner calls me Grandpa when she catches me reading in the loo.

    Worthy re-reads....

    I don't know for sure, but I think it might have been me that read the same book twice in one day. I did that with Life of Pi, but other than that, lately I really don't re read at all. The only exception being Barbara Kingsolver's Prodigal Summer which I do read about one-two times a year.

    Good chick lit.

    I generally read a chic lit or two a month. It's a nice, fluffy respite from some of the heavier stuff I read. I LOVED Devil Wear's Prada and enjoyed Nanny Diaries, even the Shopaholic books. Bridget seems to have kind of been the original Chic Lit book for me.
