What should be in every gentleman’s loo

One of life’s simple pleasures has to be enriching one’s mind with some loo literature. The loo has always been a throne for a gentleman, and the following books might just make you want to take that little bit longer, doing what you do. It is that vital pile on the side that can enrich one’s knowledge in sports, history, humour and of course women. Here is a list, that we believe will make those all too boring 10 minutes more gripping…
