</font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> Germans who like to read on the toilet no longer need to take newspapers in with them, but can instead turn to novels and poems printed onto toilet paper, a German publisher said on Wednesday.
"We want our books to be used. That's our philosophy," said Georges Hemmerstoffer, head of the Klo-Verlag which publishes the toilet paper literature. About half of all people liked to read on the toilet, he said.
Poems by German literary giants Heinrich Heiney [fitting name for this job, don't you think... <img border="0" alt="[laugh]" title="" src="graemlins/laughing.gif" /> ] and Christian Morgenstern, as well as tales and detective stories could be found on the toilet rolls, Hemmerstoffer told Reuters at the Frankfurt book fair.
Each text was printed several times on one roll, so that readers could actually use the paper and still leave behind some entertainment for the next toilet visitor. </font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">
