To clarify, is your favorite hobby eating bread while you read books as one combined hobby?
I would put reading books as my favorite hobby that I would drop other hobbies in favor of. I love being able to sit down with a physical good book and disappear in to it. I don't get to do that as often these days, but when I do, it is so nice.
Mmm, oxford comma. That being said, your first sentence reminded me of the Animaniacs sketch with watching movies with George Wendt while eating beans. Back to topic: my favorite hobby is...

Outside of a lifelong interest in good'ol vid'ya, I used to be huge into archery, competing at national level recurve (far from making the olympic team though) from 18-23. Thankfully it's a very individual sport because I am not very P2P competitive, I was always in my own game and that's as far as it took me. Ten years ago, from 26-29 I played a lot of golf thanks to a friend's corporate membership, and I can confidently break 90 on any kind of course, 80s on my best days with some course knowledge, but that season has passed and my clubs have been collecting dust under the deck. After that I had a brief dirtbike stint which turned into snowmobiles, and I still have an old yamaha on a little trailer beside my garage. Recently I have gotten into kendo, which immediately showed me the limits of my athleticism since it is much much more demanding cardio-wise as well as leg/feet dexterity. However I find myself loathing the amount of gear as well as the ceremony (typical of japanese arts, I did shoot kyudo for a year as well) so I have been considering joining a friend's kickboxing gym because I think the real secret sauce is simply hitting stuff, so why bother with all of the extra steps?
Outside of that I also make leather bondage gear to order, but that entire skillset has lost the honest hobby maker-pleasure to me the same way welding has. But, it does pay off a bunch of bills consistently, so I will continue to do it as long as orders come in since I already have all of the tools and a lot of materials.
I guess I would have to say reading, though that feels like saying that breathing is a hobby. I have for the last few years been reading about 2 books per month, which is far down from when I was...
I guess I would have to say reading, though that feels like saying that breathing is a hobby. I have for the last few years been reading about 2 books per month, which is far down from when I was younger, but I have more hobbies and less time than I used to.
Cooking, gaming, making music are all my runners-up.
That's easy, painting! After a couple of years when you really get better at it, that's when true enjoyment kicks in, and the interesting part is that you never stop learning, there's always new...

Probably Brazilian jiujitsu, followed closely by playing with computers
Are you also swole like @aphoenix is?
Nah, I'm a pretty normal shaped middle aged dad.
This shoutout made me smile, especially since I was feeling pretty unswole today. Thanks!
