What does a bathroom read mean? Does it mean the book is not meant to be read anywhere but in the bathroom? Please correct me if I understand this wrongly: a bathroom read is a book that you read when you are in the bathroom. Otherwise, why call it a bathroom read?

You are right, but it is a criticism of the book: it is light reading, of no great importance and easily digested in small portions.
