Hello out there, intelligent minds!
Are you nauseated by the fact that some people don't have a clue what to read unless Oprah shouts her favorite titles from the hilltops? Are you sick of Oprah monopolizing the book club world? Do you cringe at the overdramatic fanfare surrounding the release of a new Oprah Book Club book? Well, I am! I don't understand why people follow (worship?) Oprah the way they do. She's human just like the rest of us. Her opinion is just that, an opinion. I'm sure she's a lovely woman, but c'mon! We don't all need to wait with bated breath for Oprah to decide what we should be reading! Not that the books she chooses are bad. They're not. On the contrary, many of them are wonderful. I've read Ellen Foster and The Road...they were very good. I just don't always think we should be giving all of the power to a mortal woman with a talk show. Let me know how YOU feel... What are some of your favorite books? Favorite authors? Why? Share with us... For the record...I'm not an Oprah hater, just a skeptic.
