Some guessing went into that. The second guess wasn't too bright.

Hah well, with the username there's an explanation. My name is "(S)øren (Bro) (Thy)gesen. I know "sbrothy" sounds like some weird squid, but it's never taken when I have to register somewhere (the backside is that I'm incredibly easy to find in google). I even asked how native English speakers "pronounce" it when reading inwards and apparently they "pronounce" it exactly as I would expect. I'm known on the streets in my hometown (even to people I don't know myself) as "Søren Bog" (Bog = Book) because I read books as I walk around, and yes: I sometimes walk into stuff - lightpoles mostly - much to the amusement of the public and adding to my notoriety. I've managed to stop traffic and have people exit their vehicles to applause at my stupid antics.

OTOH, strangers approach me with books they think I should read, so it's all fun.

EDIT: What I don't understand though, is that people walk around staring at their smartphones but noone find that even remotely weird.

Oh no! I looked at your spoiler before I realized it's (for me) tomorrow's puzzle.
