Read books / notes without picking them up

Is there a way to do this? Its pretty tedious to pick a book, go to your inventory, read it, discard it, everytime.

I didn't see which community this was in, which made it a pretty amusing type of confusion for a minute.
I'd also love to eat food without putting it in my inventory. Quick break between clearing rooms to scarf down everything in the break room.
- Yeah, like the same functionality as with equipment where you can hold down E to equip rather than loot.
  
  I would eat a lot more things if this was an option
I almost think it's a big, because the UI gives you two options, press the use button, or press the back button, but neither does anything different.
- Yeah it feels like a weird oversight, considering it was present in Skyrim / FO3+4
  
  Same with food. Unless I modded that and forgot about it.
I really wish it's a bug. And I wish I can place them on a shelf and build a collection. I dont remember if it was in modded Skyrim or legit in the game ahah.
How do you read books? I didn't know you could do that. I sold a bunch of books before reading them 🤦🏻‍♀️

- when you pick it up it auto opens in your face
  
  Huh. I guess I just found & sold empty notebooks 🤷🏻‍♀️
