From the Publisher
When 'Passing time in the loo, volume 1' has sold nearly a quarter of a million copies.........why wouldn't we expand your horizons by releasing Volume 2 ?

Customer Reviews

AMAZING!!!!!
I cant be sure if this book is trying to be funny in certain places but with suggestions such as "square dance for a change of pace" and "write a speech about what liberty means to you" I cant help but wonder if it is being comical or actually meaningful. I would suggest that this be by every loo the world over or simply in pub and living room tables and it is amazing.

Volume 2- Long overdue!!!
I have been waiting for volume 2 for a few years now and I keep on checking amazon once every few weeks.... and still nothing.
Isn't it about time it comes out?

S.K.

Too American, factually incorrect, outdated.
Don't get me wrong, the book is a nice idea, and there are some good little pieces in there (for example, I was interested in the history of Weight Watchers, and the list of foreign words and phrases was nice too). But the person I bought it for, who absolutely *loves* reading on the toilet, was disappointed with the book overall. The Managment articles are boring as hell, and a lot of the other articles are poorly conceived and executed.
