A very inspirational memoir! Josh Hanagarne -despite his challenges on having a Tourette Syndrome, grown up in a strict Mormon family, and other issues that are strangely quite relatable, could write with incredible sense of humor. Not a hint of self pity in this book, instead there are lots of inspiring, funny moments that are memorable and make this book quite a gem. All the references about books added more points to this memoir :)
Although I admire the author for his strength in dealing with his problems, he got a bit long winded on questioning his faith. I can appreciate his struggle and can relate to the fact that if you are reminded of your handicap, thinking about it only makes it worse.
It's humorous, awkward, and a wonderful insight into the nexus of Tourette's, Mormonism, and libraries—a previously underrepresented genre obviously! All awash with Josh's colorful irreverence. I loved this memoir.
