Well She did pick a lot of good books — 3 weeks ago

Not all I liked.
Beloved? Horrible

Books I loved:
We Were The Mulvaneys.
Pillars of The Earth but she picked that years after it was published and it was already a bestseller. I hope more people read that book thanks to her. Great book.

I started with A Pilot’s Wife which I enjoyed.
Enjoyed most of the books but yes most are depressing.
I did not like James Frey’s fake book.

Today i received 2 books of the list. Night and Icy Sparks. So far I’ve only read 23 of this list. Going to make it 25 :)


Duplicate Books — 26 weeks ago

I removed the books that were duplicated at the end.


New Book — 36 weeks ago

I added the new pick, A New Earth and also added a couple of books that seem to have had fallen off. They are now in order again, all accounted for per Oprah’s list on her website.

Added this list — 40 weeks ago

Decided to add it to my lists because just a few years ago I read a lot of The Oprah books.
It says I am 32% done with this list.
One book I really want to read is Night by Ellie Wiesel.
Maybe I am going to try some of the others.

I added the two most recent books; I hope this is OK!

There’s so much to be said about the books Oprah chooses, but it’s interesting to read at least a few of them, if only to be able to discuss the cultural phenomena of “pop” literature.

"O", no! — 1 year ago

I read to escape from the depressing reality of my life – I don’t want to read about the depressing reality of anybody elses.

Apart from Anna Karenina, I’d rather gnaw my legs off than read this book list.

Not an Oprah fan but... — 2 years ago

I’ll try and pick out some of these books to give a read to. Maybe I’m missing out..
