The Starry Smooth Hound

I was on my way to work.

I had some time to kill and decided to get off the tube one stop early so I could go and nose round some second-hand shops.

But I was really engrossed in the book I was reading and forgot to get off the train.

So instead of shopping I ended up in a cafe near my work, where I ordered an (overpriced) orange juice.

I  read for half an hour.

As I was getting up to go, I realised that the cafe and the author of the book had the same name.

What can this mean?
