The World's Strongest Librarian: A Memoir of Tourette's, Faith, Strength, and the Power of Family by Josh Hanagarne

4.0

i really enjoyed this memoir of a librarian who gains control of his tourette's syndrome by lifting weights. i learned a lot about tourette's and he had some good insights on the role of public libraries in today's world, although i'm not sure every reader would be as excited about that as i am. (a long passage on this topic is stuck somewhat randomly in the second half of the book.) i especially enjoyed hearing about his relationship with his wife, janette, who seems pretty great, and their son max.

sidenote: a somewhat crusty but beloved patron asked me what i was reading while i was in the middle of this, and then put a hold on it, so i'm curious to see what he will think as well.
