Loo Books



In the July 23 NY Times book review section, Henry Alford wrote an essay about the books people keep in their bathrooms. I thought I'd share images of my current collections. Do you have a bathroom library? What's on the shelf?

Wow, you have quite a library in the library (as my dad calls it)! In ours we just have 1000 Places to Visit Before You Die and a bunch of magazines: NYer, Harpers, Zymurgy, BizWeek (free from work), Money (my dad sends it to me, I figure if I put it in the loo I might read it and learn something, but I always pick out a different one).

wow....i feel so pedestrian, i have no books whatsoever in my bathroom! of course, what little room there is is stuffed to the gills as storage - no easy feat considering you must enter and exit sideways.

the stairwell is always teeming with the most interesting literary combinations, however, in the grand tradition of recycling ny style.

How did I get into this?

I was asked when I started doing Mailart. Good question. Like many artists, I was making and mailing art without even knowing it had a name ...
