Depends on where I am, and how I feel.
Maybe, I'll drink a glass of iced tea, or eat an apple. Sometimes, I've read a book while eating dinner! (Which is more important. . . . dinner, or the book?)
Popcorn (sprinkled with Old Bay) is good with a good book.

No, I don't do anything while I read. Sometimes I'll scratch myself but that is about it. When I was a kid I was eating a hot dog and dropped a dob of mustard on page 221 of a book on Joan of Arc. The stain is still there. I learned my lesson.

Nothing wrong with multi-tasking! If I'm really absorbed reading a great book, I would continue reading it all day through my lunch as well as dinner...and perhaps in between snacks too. But, when I do this, my focus is the book, not the meals/snacks!!

One must support the system when researching - therefore feed thyself, my daughter/son - else thou shalt wither and die before reaching the end of the "Fellowship of the Ring" trilogy... (+ "the Hobbit" and referring to the "Silmarillon")

Well, sometimes I read the poetry on the wall of the library bathroom wall. Things like "Here I sit broken hearted" and other cool stuff like that, you know. Of course I'm often confused about what most of it means so I guess I'm not very good with words of wit and, em, stuff.
