Reclusive novelist appears on 'Oprah'

[bekah]

Me too.   And I'd like to add that many women who do NOT watch her 
show do listen for her recommendations because some of these women 
are bright  well-educated,  professional women who enjoy good books 
but they don't know where to get "advice" on what to read next.   I 
think they'll appreciate The Road and Middlesex as much as they did 
One Hundred Years of Solitude a few years ago.

Here's the list of Oprah books since 1996 and there isn't a Steele or 
a Nora Roberts in the bunch (there is a Maeve Binchy though) (lol)
