Reading on the toilet.
Surely this peaceful practice is common in both senses of the word. What defines ones class must therefore be the choice of reading material on offer.

OK!!!!111!! magazine etc.
My wife has the bare-faced audacity to pollute my throne room with this mind crushing cack.

I'm not a football fan and wouldn't know a Tommy Hilfinger from a Coochie. I really couldn't give a flying tossbucket that some third-division gurning fuckwit has married an orange, meringue wearing harridan.

Am I classy? Am I? Am I?

Certainly
I currently enjoy a page or three of Bleak House while defecating. That would be pretty balanced, but thee fact that I bought the book from Aldi and it has an illustrated cover tips me into the realms of white-trash, I fear.

I am trying to convince my wife that a bookshelf in the downstairs toilet
is a good idea.

I can't go unless I'm reading and I am sure I'm not the only one. Sometimes its a scrabble for a shampoo bottle before I sit but I have to read something.

I have a wide selection of reading material on the radiator and the moment including, a couple of Gary Larson books I no longer find funny, The doubtful guest, the melancholy story of oyster boy, the little book of bunny suicides, the current months bizarre magazine, and several others.

However nothing has ever beaten the quality of read that is the back of a shampoo bottle.

I too have the need to read!
I usually have a couple of new scientists or something to keep me company on the crapper. I actually had to hide some reading materials in my girlfriends toilet after I knew all her shampoos etc by heart.

currently on the library ( - shelf below the window)
is
The Daily Show presents America (useful for quick quips in urgent times).
Simon Singh - The Code Book
Stephen Hawking - God created the Integers
Ben Goldacre - Bad Science.

Though other titles do appear from time to time, and some of the above are frequently "lent out" to other parts of the house. I find that I can sometimes "forget the purpose of my visit" and be found in the peace and quiet of the small study.
