Josh Hanagarne: World's Strongest Librarian (Hardcover, 2013, Gotham)

Review of "World's Strongest Librarian" on 'Goodreads'

The author and broadcaster Regina Brett once said "If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's, we'd grab ours back." I suspect that, faced with the challenges of Josh Hanagarne, most of us would do just that. This wonderful book is a combination of childhood memoir, love story, faith journey and inside look at the life of a public librarian. This book is also a profound retelling of a man's journey to tame Tourette Syndrome on his own terms, drawing strength from his family and loving wife and inspiration from a small band of power-lifters! A real one-off that made me want to jump on a plane and go meet the author.
