Oprah’s Back With New Books

Oprah Winfrey’s Book Club has ditched the classics. The NY Times reports that the club will again select modern authors (for the first time since 2002 — not long after Oprah’s spat with Jonathan Franzen). The publisher of the newest pick, a 2003 biography on addiction recovery, is printing 600,000 new copies. The book’s also the #1 seller at Amazon, thanks to Oprah’s loyal followers.

    addition recovery?
    Is he not doing enough subtraction?

    btw, nice to see Oprah is continuing her long journey in finding the most depressing books available for the reading public.

    Whoops, typo fixed
    Eye halve a spelling chequer
    It came with my pea sea
    It plainly marques four my revue

    Eye strike a key and type a word
    And weight four it two say

    Its letter perfect awl the weigh
    My chequer tolled me sew

    Every time …
    Every time Oprah announces a new book club selection, I’m reminded of one of my favorite headlines from The Onion
