Not for me actually. I find that when I'm reading I want to focus solely on the content, without having to look away for snacks. Also, I don't want sticky fingers on the screen or pages haha. I do like to have tea or coffee if I can keep it in one hand though.

Yes, I do love the occasional snack while eating. It can be biscuits or chocolates. I do this subconsciously.

I love to sip a drink while I read. It gives me a sense of continuity. I won't get bored and the pages will be faster to read

Yes I like to eat when I'm reading but it depends on the type of food. Because I love to have full concentration while reading and I wouldn't do anything that'll distract my attention

I never thought about this until I saw your question. I actually never eat while reading! Is that weird?

my eating/reading habit is this. whatever I am doing in my day, while I eat I am allowed to zone out into a book. sometimes, sadly, this is hazardous to the book. but it's somewhat consistent with the fact that our modern life is too rushed, we are always multitasking and depriving ourselves of the pleasure of simply being. Although it is a compromise approach, I like to enjoy the pleasures of eating and reading as little bits of 'me time' in my day

I don’t do all the time. But sometimes I do eat snacks while I’m reading. Most when reading a rom-com novel. When the weather is nice, drinking coffee and reading is great feeling.

I agree! Usually, when I'm reading, I'll have a drink (coffee, tea, hot chocolate, etc.) and a little snack next to me. And I'll have a plate or cookies or something when I have some friends over for a reading session. I just think that it's nice to feed the body and the mind at the same time

The experience is enhanced when accompanied by a steaming cup of aromatic coffee or tea, along with an assortment of delectable snacks, forming the quintessential ensemble for a truly delightful reading session.

The act of engaging my taste buds in a symphony of flavors while immersing myself in the enchanting realms of literature adds an extra layer of sensory gratification.
