My favourite way to read is with a good, soft cheese and wafer-thin crackers. No wine necessary.
Cheese is one of life's little indulgences, the kind we can afford but still think of as decadent. It makes the reading experience richer, it turns what I'm reading into a piece of culture. Eating cheese reminds me to savour what I'm reading.
I especially love eating cheese whilst reading philosophy. It reminds me that I am not just reading my homework, I am reading great and fascinating works, pieces that have shaped the world. Cheese is that kind of thing. It's impossible to eat it and feel begrudging at the same time.
Yes, cheese can do all that.
