Who: Female, 20s
What: Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Seth Grahame-Smith
I'm surprised this book hasn't made it on the blog before. If you haven't heard of it, you've probably been living under a rock somewhere.

Walking and reading at the same time along the sidewalk beside the Old Burying Ground. Very dangerous thing to do on a sidewalk made of bricks.
