Pick Five. Current or recent. Bog-reading averse bigots butt out.


The Star Trek Next Generation Companion - all 7 series, plot outlines/production notes.

Henry Root’s World of Knowledge (and Common Sense)

Dark Star : An Oral Biography of Jerry Garcia, Robert Greenfield

The Top Ten Of Everything 2010: Russell Ash

Wisden Almanac 2003

Sorry, but what is a Bog book?

Rather than five favourites - as they tend to be somewhat forgettable) - 5 of the reading material in my loo recently and at present:

- The Mock the Week Annual
- Little People in the City: the street art of Slinkachu
- Am I alone in Thinking..? (unpublished letters to The Telegraph)
- a print-out of the BBC website magazine's Paper Monitor Annual
- The Book of Dead Philosophers, by Simon Critchley

I tend to carry things into the bog rather than select from a bogpile.

Things read from recently in the bog:
Vasily Grossman, Life and Fate
Robert Walser, Institute Benjamenta
Peter Porter, The Last of England
Antony Flew (ed.), A Dictionary Of Philosophy
Peter Cave, Can A Robot Be Human? (worthy of permanent bog duty to enliven the bog-time of the thinking guest)

Silly books. I don't have the sense of humor for meaningless reads. Waste of time, like fantasy fiction.

Bog = toilet

Speaking of which, do you really allow your house guests to use your toilet facilities? It's strikes me as overly familiar. I wouldn't want my guests simply assuming that they could. They ought to think ahead when they are still in their own houses.
