OUR REGULAR READERS RAVE

Some books print fancy reviews written by critics. Not us! Here at the BRI, we care more about what our faithful readers have to say.

“I got the
Book of Fun
when I was 9 and I am 11 now, and I still can’t put it down. I am always the class clown in school and I would be way boring without your book.”

—Nick

“Your books are awesome, both me and my brother love them. Go with the flow and never quit!”

—Rubaiyat

“The information in your books fascinates me and is so interesting. For Christmas, half of my list is Bathroom Reader books. The coolest things about your books is that all of the facts are so funny.”

—Sabrina

“Hello BRI! You guys rock. I’m a huge fan, and I read your books everyday…my Social Studies teacher thinks I’m never paying attention.”

—Jonathan

“I’m a member of the BRI. And by the way, I love your books. Uncle John, how was life when you were a kid?”

—Ryan

“I love your books so much! I was about 8 or 9 when I got my first Bathroom Reader. It was called
Uncle John’s Book of Fun
. Now I’m 11 and have 6 of your books. My goal is to have all of your books. Keep up the good work, and as you always say…. go with the flow!

—Aaron

“I love Uncle John’s
Wild & Woolly Bathroom Reader
book. It was so funny and I learned a lot of fact about animals! Thank-you Uncle John, and keep writing the good books!”

—Sarah

“I love the Bathroom Readers. They give me random trivia for class and help me look smart.”

—Dylan

“Hi, my name is Steven. I’ve read
Top Secret Bathroom Reader
,
Book of Fun
, the first
Kids Only
, and love them all! I can’t wait until the next one. Thank you Uncle John, Porter, and everyone else in the Bathroom Readers’ Institute for making my life so much better!”

—Steven
