Light Reading for the Bathroom

Rare Charles Darwin book found on toilet bookshelf: "An auction house says it is selling a rare first edition of Charles Darwin's 'On the Origin of Species' found in a family's guest lavatory in southern England.

Christie's auction house said Sunday the book — one of around 1,250 copies first printed in 1859 — had been on a toilet bookshelf at a family's home in Oxford."

Hat tip to Art Scott.
