I hope that she doesn't discontinue the club. She opened the doors to those who did not have the desire or were hesitant to read.<BR/><BR/>There are ups and downs to everything and she should just use this as a way to discover other great works, both contemporary and classic. <BR/><BR/>If I find her number, I will definitely pass it along to you ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20112247.post-1160181578779499302006-10-06T19:39:00.000-05:002006-10-06T19:39:00.000-05:00Personally, I have never been one of those people ...Personally, I have never been one of those people to jump on the 'Oprah bashing bandwagon' - those people who think it makes them more intellectual or cool to trash her book club. On the other hand, I've never followed her selections and although I've read some of her picks, they were books I planned to read and then noticed the OBC sticker on the covers.<BR/><BR/>Any club will have its hits and misses. I hope she continues, as I think her club makes a valuable contribution. Good luck pushing Gayle out of the way!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20112247.post-1160085706806475392006-10-05T17:01:00.000-05:002006-10-05T17:01:00.000-05:00Booklogged, Marg and Joy thanks for the comments. ...Booklogged, Marg and Joy thanks for the comments. My friend at work says I'm gonna get sued for this! :-)<BR/><BR/>I love reading w/ Oprah. I like that she takes chances with unknown authors, and regardless of other people's feeling, I really enjoy reading the classics as a book group. <BR/><BR/>So, I truly want to help! If any of you know her number, please share. ;)<BR/><BR/>I would be honored if you added me to your blogroll and I will do the same.

I also saw the shows of her trip to Auschwitz.

I remember being glued to Oprah's book club shows and got very excited when she was going to reveal a new book.Bookloggedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00651016653247142255noreply@blogger.com
