Do you read a book while eating?

[Jo]

Yes if I am reading on my kindle but I wouldn't trust myself with food and a physical book!

[Aideen]

no not really

NO FOR REAL

[Melody (belongs to skz)]

i also love eating while reading, or vice versa

[Morgan]

If I'm eating by myself I'll audiobook or use a reading app. Physical books are a no go, I'm too clumsy for that risk.

[Thomas]

Salty snacks a good book are a great pair (except for Cheetos)

[Shell-A-Rella]

I often read when on a lunch break or if I am out dining alone.

That is why I use a kindle. They are light weight, you can carry multiple books at once, and can wipe them off unlike the paper books.

[Gypsy]

if it's a weekend I am trying to relax, I'll have some snacks and a beer while I read. :)

[becs]

i physically cannot do it LOL!! i simply cant eat and read, all my brain power and attention goes to reading as well as just struggling to hold my book and food at the same time. so definitely not

[PurpleLadi]

Yes, but only for dining alone.

[Canette]

Sometimes. But only one hand :-D . Second is for the book
:-D

[PinkPanthress]

I do often read while eating.
I use my right hand for the food only, so my left is free to turn the pages. Whether they're digital or paper.
I never, ever spilled anything on my books up until now. *knocks on wood* 🧿

But to be honest, it's not healthy to eat while watching tv, read, etc… so maybe I should stop doing that. :D

[Tarynla☾]

I can’t eat and read simultaneously. I get distracted easily and I won’t eat or it’ll take me forever to finish a page.

[Marwan]

Only drinks! definitely no food

[T.]

Every time I attempt this it's because my book is holding me captive. But I can't seem to keep the book from flopping closed or dropping food all over me. I loose focus and grow annoyed.

[Rew]

yeah sometimes but can't fully focus while im eating

[leila ♡]

yes😭 i know i shouldn’t but i’m super careful and do my best not to get it in my books but sometimes i get so hungry

[Judy ୨୧]

yes

[[deleted user]]

Now that there I would have love to have seen.

[Natalie]

I usually read while eating my breakfast in the morning, either on my phone or with a hardback because they stay open easier

[georgia]

yesss i have a morning routine of reading while drinking tea and eating breakfast its very pleasant

[Sonya]

It depends on the food I am eating! If I can do it without making a mess then yes, but if it’s going to my book in high risk of a splash zone then no lol

[Carmen]

Physical book, no. Kindle or on my phone, yes. lol

[Erica]

Depends.

Popcorn always sounds like a good munching snack, yet I don't want to risk getting the pages buttery, so I reserve for digital usually. Beef jerky is a good one.

Coffee, hot chocolate, or wine is always nice.

I do find myself wanting what I read about, found in these cozy romance books that take place around bakeries and such, becomes a must have.

[Tracy]

During lunch at work, yes.

[Julie]

Every chance I get! I actually prefer to eat alone so that I can read without feeling like I’m being rude.

[roguereader]

yes :)

[Emeroxic]

Kindle yes, Physical is too of a hassle

[Melissa]

I have been known to, yes. I almost always have coffee or water.

[John]

I can relate to that there as that is the way for which I am and one of the reasons for which I prefer my tablet over paper books.

[Melissa]

I actually don't eat while I read but i mostly drink tea or some sort of alcohol

[Artemis~Ebonie (Inactive)]

Depends if it's my book sure it doesn't matter but I am careful. If it's a friends or a library book that thing is like a child no harm will come it's way especially if it's my friends.

[Boriana]

NEVER! I eat like a pig so the chance of getting it dirty is really high. I enjoy watching booktubers while eating 🥰

What are "booktubers" as I've never heard of one.

[ashleighnovember]

I can't eat and read at the same thing. I know, strange.

[Isabellaꕤ]

I do it all the time

[Aeri]

always nsjsj

[Bruna]

Oh no... Way too risky!

[mireya]

Actually, yes, I remember as a kid my parents would never let me (I tried anyway) I was careful but I was still a bit scared I would get water or grease on it.

[brithebusybee]

Yes, but i prefer an audiobook when eating.

[Oscar]

sometimes

[John]

I've never tried audio booksl As it would seem to me like being read a bed time story when I was a child.

[Lisa]

I read while eating and drinking but depends on what I'm eating or reading.

[Bailey (semi-hiatus)]

yes. its combining my two fav activities, eating and reading.

[Ms.Sophia]

Sometimes. I like to watch something when I eat but it actually depends on the book I am reading.

[Sassy Mystic Reads]

Yes, long time habit of having snacks while reading. I picked up this habit as a kid from my mother who was an avid reader.

[Melissa]

Yes. I always have a Breakfast Book that I read every day. During dinner, I do my Duolingo lesson.
