I know that it looks like my blog has gone back to the late 1990s, but I assure you that it is temporary. Well, maybe not so temporary since at the pace that I am going it will probably take me (hmm, get 
out the calculator – click start, then run, type calc, ok – I love this thing) approximately 24 more days. Maybe even longer if I can’t manage to post two books a day. And if I do that, it means that I won’t be posting anything else but Oprah’s Book Club Selections for the next month. Last count, I think there were 67 selections, with the last one including two books. I’ve posted 20 Book Club Selections, so far, leaving 47 to go.
What’s the big deal about Oprah’s Book Club you ask? Well, it’s something that I started years ago, when Oprah first started her 
book club on The Oprah Winfrey Show. I was maintaining a list of the book collection and even posted some of them on an old website. Somewhere along the way, I left it behind.
It has been said that because of Oprah’s Book Club popularity, many of the older/obscure titles became bestsellers and sales increased 
dramatically. It just shows you how much influence Oprah had on the reading public. A couple of her selections caused much controversy, such as The Corrections by Jonathan Franzen and James Frey’s memoir, A Million Little Pieces. Read more at Wikipedia.org.
