No!!!!
Neither I can enjoy food while reading nor I can bond with book while eating food..

No way. Maybe tea or coffee would do, but otherwise I just can't read while eating.

YES! It's a terrible habit because I always get crumbs in my books, but that probably won't stop me. I also love a nice mug of tea of hot chocolate.

Sometimes I will read during meals, but generally I prefer not to because I always get food on my book, lol.

I actually forget to eat while I'm reading oddly enough. I find myself so focused on what's going on in the book, I completely ignore my grumbling tummy. Definitely a bad habit of mine.

I do. It's a habit from when I was a child. But it has to be a relaxing book.

Oh yes, I think it's probably as bad as watching tv and scarfing down food without even noticing the taste and so on. But I still do it.

No. I don't like to mark my books, and food can leave stains and marks. It's one of my pet hates, and I grimace internally when I borrow a book from the library and it is stained from food or drink.
I will read with a glass or water, or cup of tea, but am very careful.

I won't eat and read a book in print. I'll only do this if I'm really hungry. Otherwise, I'll eat while reading an Ebook.
And in the end, we were all just humans... Drunk on the idea that love, only love, could heal our brokenness.

This really depends on the kind of book.Eating and reading go well for me except for motivational books and the bible.

I love to eat while I'm reading because I get very intrigued by the story and the anticipation gets me munching on anything. So it's better if I have eatables with me to chew on.
