Founded in 1988, the Bathroom Reader's Institute started producing "Uncle John's Bathroom Reader". Given how difficult it is to find where you left off in The Great Gatsby, and by the time you're done you haven't gotten very far into it, they decided to do something different. Incidentally, it was the Bathroom Reader's Institute that instituted this very bathroom reading month. Each of these volumes contain tons of short entries containing useless information that is fun to know. The entries cover many interesting, humorous and historical topics. Perfect for the short reading period on the John, Uncle John's Bathroom Reader is favored by many.

Just about everyone has read The Tell Tale Heart in school, but few have traveled into the full collection of Poe's masterpieces. Though the recent movie "The Raven" inspired a little interest, not enough people have experienced the terror and confusion of the Pit and the Pendulum, or laughed at the circumstances in The Angel of the Odd. There are plenty more stories with very different plots, characters and moods that came out of his creative mind.
