	i'm surprised none of mitch albom's non-sports books made this list, considering oprah helped produce the movie based on his book "for one more day".

	also, if you read one book from this list, i would recommend cry, the beloved country. it is a very thought-provoking book!

Comment below threshold: show it

	One would think Frey's book would have gotten the boot, given what happened.

	I only got night and the good earth.

	only got 3: one cos i watch south park, one cos i watch family guy, and one cos I know Tolstoys books, lol. who says you dont learn anything from tv?! on a side night "a million little fibres" by steven mctowelie should be a bonus answer, lol ;)

	@kevin: it is an ammmmazzzing book though.

	@kevin and raveneli: I forget where I heard it, but it seems that Frey originally had written that book as a novel and his publisher wanted to call it a memoir. Now, Frey is at fault for not putting his foot down for writer's integrity, but reading it as a novel (which I did) proves that it's still an enjoyable read. The story, while hardly truly believable, is still heart-breaking and uplifting, and Frey's style of writing is delightfully punk rock.

	I'm surprised, given all the Morrison books, that Beloved wasn't picked. Oprah even starred in and produced the movie. Likewise, I'm surprised Walker's The Color Purple wasn't a choice.

	This is actually your futile effort at getting mentioned on her show, and you know it!

	I avoid anything that woman recommends she is one scarey person!

	Why the Oprah bashing? Yeah, I only got three of them, and they were the most common three, but the fact that Oprah has so successfully encouraged Americans to read is a previously unimaginable feat.

	I can't believe that Cry the Beloved Country is on that list. My seventh grade english class read it and we hated it so much all but two kids in the class signed a petition to never make another student read it; it was that bad.

	I know a lot of people like to tear down Oprah, but this is a pretty damn good reading list. Stones from the River, Middlesex, and Poisonwood Bible are all excellent.

	You do whatever the tube tells you! You dress like the tube, you eat like the tube, you raise your children like the tube, you even think like the tube! This is mass madness, you maniacs! In God's name, you people are the real thing! We are the illusion! So turn off your television sets. Turn them off now.

	@raveneli: I agree "A Million Little Fibers" by Steve McTowelie should be a bonus.

	I definately have a copy of Beloved and on the cover it says that its one of her Book Club Books.... :-/

	Add me to the list of people surprised about the lack of Beloved. That was the first book I typed in, and I thought maybe I was spelling it wrong or something. I kind of thought that Beloved was the "founding member" of Oprah's book club.

	PrayingTigre:	Nov 15th, 2009 at 13:48 GMT		1 point
	Where is Beloved? She even starred in her production of the movie!

	I was hoping to see faster than the speed of love as a bonus answer.

	@caligal14: "definately", eh? Way to go, book club...
