Oxy Moron

Equuuuuuuuus!Title: “Rush Revere and the Brave Pilgrims: Time-Travel Adventures with Exceptional Americans”

Author: Rush Limbaugh

Rank: 1

Blurb: “Hold on to your pointy triangle hats, because you can — with me, Rush Revere, seemingly ordinary substitute history teacher, as your tour guide across time! ‘How?’ you ask? Well, there’s this portal. And a horse. My talking horse named Liberty. And — well, just trust me, I’ll get us there.”

Review: “Rush and Liberty travel back into time and use a Smartphone to capture live videos of historical events as they happen, which they show their students as they happen.”

Customers Also Bought: “Dubs Runs for President” by Dick Morris

Footnote: Give us Mr. Peabody, or give us death.

Team Kubrick

Jack was actually writing a Stephen King novel.Title: “Doctor Sleep”

Author: Stephen King

Rank: 17

Blurb: “Stephen King returns to the character and territory of one of his most popular novels ever, The Shining, in this instantly riveting novel about the now middle-aged Dan Torrance and the very special twelve-year-old girl he must save from a tribe of murderous paranormals. ”

Review: “I liked the book very much except, the part where dan exhaled the cancer onto the true knot members. Too much john coffeyish.”

Customers Also Bought: “Carrie (Movie Tie-in Edition)”

Footnote: We didn’t truly appreciate Kubrick’s genius until reading The Shining after seeing the movie. Stephen King’s famous resentment of the adaptation is that of Salieri towards Mozart.

Never Trust Anyone Under Thirty

A Smug Work of Staggering Condescension.Title: “The Circle”

Author: Dave Eggers

Rank: 23

Blurb: “When Mae Holland is hired to work for the Circle, the world’s most powerful internet company, she feels she’s been given the opportunity of a lifetime. The Circle, run out of a sprawling California campus, links users’ personal emails, social media, banking, and purchasing with their universal operating system, resulting in one online identity and a new age of civility and transparency.”

Review: “Should be required reading in junior high if they can get past the sex scenes.”

Customers Also Bought: “Fear of Flying” by Erica Jong

Footnote: The Circle is being pitched as the 1984 of social media, written by a 43-year-old who grew up in a simpler time when all we had to worry about were credit cards tracking our every purchase. We’re all for extrapolitive caricature, but we can’t help smelling the freshly cut lawn of a premature fogey. Besides, Big Brother wasn’t opt-in.
