I'd hidden the Radio Dramas in my underwear drawer for years and whenever the real life of a grown up got to be too much, I'd rent the battered videos from Blockbuster, sometimes ESB, RoTJ less frequently, but usually Star Wars (never A New Hope). It's 1991, and, in the days before home computers and the Who Luke Should Marry forum on AOL, I think I'm the only adult female Star Wars fan in the entire world. On my lunch hour break from doing important adult things, I see a cheesy blue book in the B.Dalton with a big Star Wars logo on it, look around, to make sure I'm not being observed, and sneak it away from the front of the store (because Star Wars is for kids, right?), down to the basement level amid self-help books, fall into Heir To The Empire and don't come up for air for another 3 hours.
