A review by sunscour
The Madman's Library: The Strangest Books, Manuscripts, and Other Literary Curiosities from History by Edward Brooke-Hitching

5.0

This was fantastic, weird and educational. (In a whaaaaat? sort of way)
Love the fact that there were pictures provided to go along with the text.
I especially loved the parts where authors took time to discredit each other, years crafting elaborate schemes. (Jonathan Swift especially.)
