Do you read at mealtimes? And if so, what?
The fact you’re looking at this blog in the first place leads me to believe you may be a fan of books. And while there is the odd person around who doesn’t like food, they are just that – odd. Surely most of us would agree with CS Lewis that ‘eating and reading are two pleasures that combine admirably.’ In fact for many, having something to read when you’re eating alone is a necessity. Nothing worse than the old torture of being stuck at breakfast with only the cereal packet separating you from boredom. You try and manufacture some interest in the fact that Rice Krispies offer 740 kilojoules per 30g serving, but it’s just not happening.
Lewis was picky in his choice of mealtime reading.
