Daniel Mann on Twitter: "Before I knew what those sticky notes…" | 944412
Before I knew what those sticky notes on the books at @torontolibrary meant, I started reading 'Stranger Than We Can Imagine' by @johnhiggs. It is a terrific account of 20th century history that is approachable and fun to read. #TOpicks #MustRead #History #NonFiction
