Shelby McClain has about 40 minutes to wait for her daughter at a skating rink that is driving her crazy with the loud music.  Since there is a little out-of-the-way bookshop across the street, Shelby takes advantage of her extra time and goes in to take a look around.Herr Strauss is the proprieter of Strauss Books.  Shelby isn't aware that this little shop owned by the odd little man isn't your everyday bookstore. She chooses a book, goes to the counter to pay for it, but he tells her that she cannot purchase the book.  They aren't for sale.  If the books aren't for sale, then what kind of bookshop is Strauss Books?Vincent Hobbes has done a marvelous job with his short story TO READ OR NOT TO READ. The characters are quirky and the only one who isn't gets to hear an argument between two customers who debate over what the other one reads.  Trashy filth or not trashy filth.  It's a fun story but it's creepy.  Great for when you have a few minutes to spare to read or not to read.
