Do you read a book while eating?

[Rohan]

Take care of the book and ensure nothing gets on it. That's what I do. If I lend my books and someone messes them up in any kind of way while eating I get pissed.
Not so much with my own books.

[Tamara]

Nope, way to scared to spill anything on it. I'm always staining my clothes with food so I will not take that risk with my books. Now if I have the book on my phone in a PDF then sure!

[Lady Grace]

sometimes, but not usually because it's too distracting

[Kimberlee]

Depends on what I'm reading

[Preeti]

no

[jayla (semi-inactive)]

nope

[Oliver]

I never read while eating. I'm the kind of person that likes to keep my books super clean and in good shape so I just avoid eating while reading.

[Clara 𐙚]

Sometimes, if I really enjoy the book I’m reading
But generally no

[evie *s-ia*]

yesss a lot

[Kabir]

Sometimes, depends on the food

[Meredith]

I will read an ebook while I eat, but usually I watch YouTube videos.

[Karl]

I do a lot of my reading at work during breaks and lunch. So, I tend to snack while reading my books.

[Natalie]

Only if it's an ebook or audiobook

[Robert]

No but I do have a drink . Tea , coffee , wine whatever

[Rebecca]

No, usually if I am reading I am too focused on my book to do much else.

[Aly]

A lot though I always keep my books clean

[Austin (Weird)]

No but if it's an ebook then I will

[Lizabeth]

I do if it is my quiet time and I have no family expected to share a meal. My best time is with my coffee at 5:30 am before I get ready for work!)

[Kelli]

Nine times out of Ten I'm almost always either reading a book physically or digitally and listening to the audiobook version as well, I find it gives me a more in-depth reading experience, so when I'm eating I'll put the book away and just listen until I'm done

[kimberly]

Yes, I do it is relaxing

[Onnika]

I always read a book while on my lunch break at work so people don’t talk to me haha

[Kimiko]

All. The. Time. That's the BEST time for reading, especially when at work. It's a total distraction from the desk and piles of work waiting for you and gets your mind into another adventure.

[Pisces51]

Are you kidding?

[Timeka]

all the time!! i esp love reading on my lunch breaks at work, lets me disassociate for a lil while

[Casey]

If I'm reading on my Kindle, yes. I only will eat with a book if I can pick the book up and have it away from my food.

[Cel]

yes chips & dip or popcorn

[ali]

No, but that's just because i like to eat too much to do anything else lmao

[Kanomi Okina]

Yip, but I’m careful not to get any food on it

[Nadia Jessica]

No, I am too clumsy to try XD. I don't want my books to suffer from my lack of motor skills :'/

[Frederique]

depend on what I eat, if i'm eating soup/ noodles I don't but if it's something like rice, pasta or meats then sure I'll have a book with me

[John]

In all honesty I am the same way as you are I will read at work on my lunch break as I like to relax.

[John]

Of course I do I take my kindle to work and read on my lunch break it helps me to relax and unwind for a bit. Not to mention gets my mind off work.

[Shelton]

yep, until I realize I'm so focused on reading I forget to eat lol

[Venusisonthefloors🪩]

this is horror for me cause I like clean books and I keep my books a safe distance from anything that could ruin it, OCD much?... probably

[John]

I've done that myself more times than I can count. Glad to hear I'm not the only one.

[Kirby]

okay guys i have opinions on this
if it is a food i can eat without a lot of focus, then i will read while eating (something about trying to eat like soup while eating is such a struggle for me like i will just fail)
also, i will only read on my kindle not a physical book b/c it is so much easier to prop up

I'm the same way in that I will only read on my kindle.

[kayla]

yes

[Hollie]

it isn't my favorite thing to do..... but if I am short on time, you do what you got to do!

[Anthony]

Nope. Can't, I might choke.

[Kirsten]

Yes I do!

[Madison]

Yes. 100 percent.
Hang on, depends on how good the book is

[Nipuna]

very distracting

[Mackenzie]

yes! if the book is too good to put down lol

[Lynn]

Embarrassingly, I read while doing anything I can get away with reading through, and will read anything. In lieu of books I can read a cereal box if that’s all that’s available, but I am usually dragging books in some form with me everywhere I go.

[Romy]

no. cu i always make a mess jajajaja

[Cortney]

no, but that's because we focus our attention on just family during meals. I do read while snacking though.

[Samia]

no, who wants food to end up on their books?

[Barefoot Gypsy]

No

[Angela]

No, this is family time to discuss the days events.
