I do, but I really try to only read for as long as is necessary to take a shit, any more is bad for your health.
Well, reading isn't bad for your health, but sitting on the toilet in 'the ready position' and straining for any longer that is necessary can lead to haemorrhoids.
In a nutshell you can become so engrossed in a book that you don't realise you're doing the shitting motions for longer than you need to and begin to push your lower intestine out. Obviously this doesn't happen in one sitting, but it's a possible consequence of such prolonged and repeated behaviour, so reading on the toilet can be a bad habit to get into.

i read the latest Cracked.com articles.
but usually i spend 15 minutes just reading with no interruptions, building up energy, then have my shit like a fucking cannon.
if i'm going for a piss, i dont read, for obvious reasons.

Thank god for the YouTube app on the iPhone! I normally finish about 10 minutes in then get distracted watching the latest yogscast or totalbiscuit video that I normally stay in there for about another 40 minutes. Worst case scenario ie: Ipod not charged and I really need to go, I normally just read the latest issue of PC Gamer or grab my 3ds if its near.

How is it physically possible to take so long taking a dump?
I'm in and out in about five minutes, so I don't have time to read. I usually end up spending these five minutes thinking about life, the universe and everything.
I've often wondered how my friend can waste 20 precious minutes of his life on the bathroom on one shitting.

I always read on the can. Even if I only have a few minutes or it turns into a long debacle. Usually I'm a fast enough reader that I can work through an entire chapter in the typical 20 minutes I'm in there.
My roommates and I keep a copy of The New York Times' Sunday crossword puzzle and we leave it there 'till it gets finished and we only work on it while we're on the can. Our record is 2-weeks.
Sometimes... But not often.
When I do number one, I'm usually done so quickly, I don't have time. In and out. When I do number two, I'm probably cramping so bad I couldn't possibly concentrate through the pain long enough to read anything.
Often when I do read, it's just to get away from everybody else and I'm already done but just haven't gotten up yet.

I do tend to read, I don't go overboard in the duration just something to do if progress is slow. Books, magazines or my phone all do the job. Quick few pages or an article, whatever. Although once I got slightly involved in a book's finale and was sat for nearly an hour without noticing.
