>I went for a walk while visiting my mother and decided to stop for a quick Guinness while reading my book. I wasn't on the second page when a passing woman stopped to ask me what I was reading.

As an Scandinavian I must admit that this sounds less than ideal. When are you going to get time to read your book if people keep interrupting you? (50/50 joke/serious).
