For those of you not familiar with Josh Hanagarne let me give you the lowdown. He runs an odd site called World’s Strongest Librarian (a self-proclaimed but likely true title). It’s an odd collection of book reviews, humorous ramblings, tourette’s syndrome progress and declines, and more. It’s always highly entertaining. …
