1993, Northampton, England. I'd arrived in town way too early and had a several hour wait for the bus out to site. I browsed the market and found a book store that sold me a copy of Steven King's 'The Gunslinger' for a quid. I sat on a bench on the edge of the market square and began reading. I was entranced, and the hours drifted away.
Over the next days I found every excuse to avoid excavations and continue reading, as if captivated by some spell.
I still have that book.
