Four things to know about Josh Hanagarne: First, he is a librarian in Salt Lake City. Second, he's a powerlifter who participates in strong-man competitions (he bends horseshoes. FOR FUN.). Third, he's Mormon. Fourth, he has Tourette syndrome, a condition of the nervous system that causes people to have repeated tics, including movements, sounds, and various twitches.
In this memoir, Hanagarne describes how these four elements of his life (and the many others that I didn't mention above) weave together in sometimes hilarious, sometimes frightening ways. It's a captivating story, and I can't believe it took me almost a decade to read it, despite having colleagues rave about it from day one. *sigh* At least I finally read it!
