Oprah's Book Club at Goodreads

description

Oprah, like Goodreads, has created an amazing community of readers out of an activity that is very solitary. From shmaltz and sentiment, fabricated memoirs to Faulkner's, As I Lay Dying, come here to share the good, the bad and the ugly from her book club list, or from books she has mentioned in passing--a little bit of bling might be fun, too. Let's keep it clean.
