“Inside a modest storefront lies a nicely decorated bookstore with high shelves and lots of hardcovers. After I entered, the bookstore's short-tailed cat sauntered up and blocked my path until I gave it some attention. I passed this test and was allowed passage. I prefer paperbacks so I was pleased to find a room full of them. The selections of science fiction, fantasy and mystery were good. I was surprised to find some men's adventure novels from the 1960s and 1970s. I bought a Sharyn McCrumb mystery novel Sick of Shadows. When I tried to leave the cat was near the exit. It had seen a lizard.”
