Today I had such a  incident. I was walking on Aker Brygge when there was a sudden rainstorm, so I took cover under a small landing and since I didn’t know how long the rain would last I got my book out.

And then suddenly a woman comes across the plaza and asks me what book I’m reading. She was a publisher and she and some friends had been watching me from the other side trying to decide if I was a tourist reading a travel guide or someone else reading fiction.

I’m still wondering who won the bet

And my the way I was reading “Gone for good” by Harlan Coben. And I guess that’s the reason why I’ve yet to go to bed. Just had to keep reading.
