The series is 30 years old, and it remains strong and entertaining. As with  other book in the series, the contents are arranged by length to meet your bathroom reading needs.

• Short: a quick read
• Medium: 2 to 3 pages
• Long: for the extended visits
• Extended: for those leg-numbing experiences

Subjects covered in the book include:

• New York City
• Toilet tech
• Good squirrels gone bad
• Teaching awards
• Celebrity couplings

 The above subjects are only a small sampling of what the book offers. The authors strive to provide a vast range of subjects and topics from serious (but not too serious) to entertaining to funny. Through it all, you also learn a thing or two along the way. As the authors state:

"Speaking of  fun, that's the main ingredient we try to put in every one of our books. Sure, we love to pass along interesting facts and odd stories-- and a few of our articles tend to fall on the 'serious'  side-- but in the end, our job is to entertain you. If  you become smarter along the way then. . . you're welcome."

The authors are successful in this regard. You'll feel your time in the bathroom was amusing as well as productive on reading this book. It is a book you can pick up and read here or there when you need a little something to read. Overall, I really liked it is a good addition to the series.

4 out of 5 stars.
