I usually don't eat anything, as I hate getting crumbs all stuck in the pages hehe. But I always love having either a cup of coffee or tea! How about you?
Usually coffee or tea, sometimes I'll grab a sandwhich, but it has to be something without lots of mayo or oils. Crumbs on the page, I can blow off, but I can't stand oil stains!
I like to have a cup of coffee or a glass of wine or 2 while I read, depending on the time of day
Usually something I can eat one-handed, like toast and jam, mixed nuts, dark chocolate--unless I'm in the middle of a thick hardcover that will lay flat when I open it!
hello!!! i don't eat and drink when i'm reading. For me is so dificult because i'm focus in the book
I don't eat while reading, I collect my books and don't want to get the pages dirty. But I do partake in enjoying a beverage... Coffee first thing in the morning, sitting in my Lazyboy by the fireplace and a good book. Herbal tea with a novel before going to bed. A glass of white or rose, or a great beer with a book at the campsite. On a particularly cold Sunday evening I may bundle up be the fireplace with a good single malt scotch and a good book.

I generally don't eat or drink when I read. Occasionally I might drink a glass of wine.
It really depends - most of the time, I end up reading just before going to bed, so I don't eat or drink anything. Occasionally, though, my day is so rushed, the only time I get to read is while eating lunch - so I do that. But with my book always at a respectful distance from my food.
Coffee in the AM and perhaps a beer at night. It seems to get me in the mood to fantasize!
When I dine alone at home I have a book holder that keeps the book open in front of me while I read.
Usually tea, Like to do the whole kettle/teapot brewing thing - but that only works when I am home
Always have both a hot and a cold beverage handy. For snacking, I usually have either fresh fruit or pistachio nuts.
Shrimp crackers and green tea. The shrimp crackers I buy aren't greasy at all so no residue.

Apples while reading in bed.they do not leave crumbs.
Green tee or wine. Especially white wine, a viognier, a little cold, for the flavors of walnut and dried fruits. Or a good rosé wine of Provence for the the flavor English candy, cold.

Ha ha Lucie, clever! =)

This sounds like a really nice quality time with precious wine and a book.
Hot coco with added cayenne pepper and espresso powder. I use Alton Brown's Hot Cocoa Mix recipe. Oolong chai tea is a close second place while reading.
Mixed nuts for a snack sometimes.
I drink coffee and hot tea mostly.. I like to read in the evenings after dinner when I am winding down my day.

Sounds wonderful Sandra!
What am amazing group, big foodie myself :)In the mornings a black tea with lemon and sugar is a must ( Taylors of Harrogate Yorkshire or Typhoo) and at night if in the mood a cold Japanese beer like Asahi as it's very dry and easy to drink.

Had to google his recipe, wow, never thought to roast milk powder, I actually have some in my pantry as I used it in my bread maker.
I usually drink coffee and eat Persian cookies that I love them.
White wine, sometimes a few crackers or chips.
