Yes! I love to snack. Sometimes it distracts me from my reading a bit, so I don't do it very often, but I do like to eat while I read.

Yes I do eat while reading at times. If I am really into a book especially if it is very dramatic I can eat a lot of chips. I try not to have anything readily available because I will end up eating more than I intend.

I actually wish I was able too but I feel like I have to grip the book by two hands when I read. Just to be full force in it lol. I do it with things I can eat with only one hand though like a sandwich or banana when I choose to read on my phone. Amazing books always seem like really good shows on Netflix the downfall is the pages cant move themselves while I enjoy a snack or meal. :eusa-think:

I have eaten while reading before but I don't prefer to. I usually keep it separate because I don't want a mess on my book or tablet.

I'm currently eating biscuits and drinking tea, about to start reading :)

Eating while reading affects my concentration, so I just take short breaks to eat. However, sometimes I like to have a cup of tea when I read.

Whenever I'm eating cereal, I tend to place the book under the bowl so the pages don't turn by themselves, and since I eat cereal on a daily basis, it does help me squeeze in some more reading time.

Well... I feel like an oddball. I very much love curling up with a book and a bag of chocolate chips with a glass of wine.

Who does not? :D But that is a good and a tricky thing at the same. It depends on a quantity and a sort of the food. If you eat chocolate or candies, then, it would be okay. But if you eat a lavish lunch, it would be quite impossible to read at the same time.

No, I usually get "in the zone". I also read a lot in bed before I go to sleep.
