Throne Literature

Just yesterday we noted a strange efflorescence of commodes in the news. It's happened again:

    Citing the perception that people like to read on in the john, a German publisher has begun publishing toilet paper literature, including poems by Heinrich Heine and Christian Morgenstern, as well as short mystery stories, according to Reuters.

    "We want our books to be used. That's our philosophy," said Georges Hemmerstoffer, head of Klo-Verlag.

    Each item is printed multiple times on a single roll, so readers may use the paper and leave some reading for the next time.
