Kate Beckinsale as Flora Poste in the 1995 adaptation of Cold Comfort Farm
Flora pounced on some books which lay on the broad window-sill . . . She put these treasures away in a drawer, promising herself a gloat when she should have time. She liked Victorian novels. They were the only kind of novel you could read while you were eating an apple.

I could not agree more. Flora is a kindred spirit.
BTW, I am thoroughly enjoying reading Cold Comfort Farm - it's just as good as the movie, for any of you who have seen it.

Very interesting! Now I want to test that. =P (I have found it difficult to read while eating an apple, but the book I was reading at the time certainly wasn't a Victorian novel!)
I know someone else who likes eating popcorn while she reads. I don't usually eat anything, though.
LOL, I love to munch on apples while I read. . . apples and books just seem to go together, I'm not sure why. I love that bit in Little Women where Jo is eating apples and crying over some book. . .
I have tagged you.
