Reading While Walking In East Lake?

You've probably heard about the dangers of texting while driving and maybe even texting while walking, but what about reading while walking?

We spotted one woman who looked to be multi-tasking to the max on Tarpon Lake Boulevard Monday.This East Lake resident, who did not give us her name, was reading and walking at the same time. 

She told us that she walks almost every day. "Sometimes I listen to music," she said.

We watched as she stopped and looked both ways at an intersection. She then crossed the street while reading her book. 

What book was she engrossed in? Christmas in Cornwall, by Marcia Willet.

Here's something you may not know; wikiHow.com actually has an article called "How to Read While Walking" complete with photos and tips like "avoid wearing shoes with high heels" and "use your peripheral vision".
