Odd Book Out

From time to time at the library, one comes across a title that deserves the status of . . . "huh?!"

Once a week or so I'd like to share some such title with all of you. So for this week, behold! I present to you:

Step-By-Step Brain Tanning The Sioux Way by Larry Belitz

Note: Since stumbling across this title, I've discovered that brain tanning is: "a natural method of tanning hides. After the hide has been fleshed, scraped, and abraded, a slightly cooked mixture of brains and fat from animals is rubbed into the hide."

And now you know everything you ever wanted about brain tanning.

Can you really use it to tan your brain in just minutes a day?

We should start a brain tanning club.
