The Joy of Bathroom Reading.
Everyone does it, especially in the age of smart phones.
Let’s be honest, sitting on the lav is pretty boring and can take forever, depending on your age, what you’ve ate or how much you had at the bar.

Listicles are just one form of bathroom reader to emerge on the Interwebs of late. There are whole websites devoted to ‘Ten Things’ lists, most of it click-bait designed to keep you trapped on the site, thus ensuring a steady stream of ad revenue for the site’s owners. Medium is no different but at least there are a few competent writers here doing some decent commentary on Modern Art or Art History. I myself have written a few pieces myself, both creative commentary and art instruction.
