Cannonball Read IV reviews of note

I’m going to assume Satan’s Lamborghini is a Diablo.

This year I’m participating in Cannonball Read IV. Cannonball Read is a race among Pajiba readers to read and review 52 books in a year. Or 26. Or 13. A charitable donation is made for those who get to 52.

There are almost 200 236 people signed up this year. That’s a lot of book reviews. I’ll try to find some of the interesting reviews plus reviews of books I’ve read and post them here.

• Satan is a hotshot professor that drives a Lamborghini. Someone is trying to bring about judgement day and he has to figure out who before it’s too late. I’m guessing it’s Ted Haggard. What Would Satan Do by Anthony Miller
• Reviewer LurkeyTurkey describes this book as an open love letter to 80s and 90s culture. “Truly nostalgia porn”. USA Cartoon Express references or GTFO. Ready Player One by Ernest Cline
• The Sisters Brothers is a book about 2 brothers with the last name Sisters. Ok now say the book title again. Different eh? The Sisters Brothers by Patrick deWitt

Books I’ve Read

• Game of Thrones by R.R. Martin - Watch the show. Read the books. R.R. is a master of weaving 50 story lines together seamlessly. If you’re already a fan, you’ll enjoy this video of Tyrion slapping King Joffrey set to Led Zeppelin’s “Achilles Last Stand”.
