I get lots of catalogues (J. Crew, Anthropologie, Crate + Barrel, Red Envelope, etc.), and leave them in my bathroom, although I'm generally not in there long enough to do any serious browsing.
Originally, I thought it might be nice for my friends to be able to thumb through when they're over. I also think having reading material in the bathroom makes it more homey. But in reality I think they think it's gross...although a couple of them have like, Jane Austen in their bathrooms, which makes me wonder how long THEY'RE in there...
