A New Level of People Reading on the Toilet


In Japan a company will be releasing a new product. Its a story, but not written in a book. It is written on paper. Toilet paper. Yes toilet paper. Koji Suzuki the the author of the horror story "Ring," has created a new story called "Drop" and it is written on a roll of toilet paper. Now this may seem a little crazy here it makes sense in Japan were ghosts are said to lurk in the toilet. The story is also set in a public restroom, so Japan it seems might be a little washroom crazy.

Now this might be a good idea, I mean could it catch on? Someones like hmm i have to go the washroom, and when they are in there enjoys a story. this is also a little funny to think about. I mean did you ever think you could go read a book on toilet paper? I didn't it just seems a weird match up, but then you also have Reeses peanut butter cups. Maybe these story-papers will be just like that.

The only probelm right now is I don't think you could buy it in English, but for those of you who can read it, read on.
