How many people think Oprah's book club is just publicity for the book?
I really can believe in reading club at the start. But I do not think she actually reads the books and people just have the book she announced in book club. How much money have the book stupid people, because they just follow what it says? (Sorry my English not first language)
LOL I think you may be right. Oprah cares doubt in his books club. let alone read them. im sure you read some of them, but mostly it gets a breifing on what books are about so you can talk about them. my roommate bought a book because Oprah – which caused a lot of conteraversy later, but was that book by James Frey. its supposed to be non-fiction but ended up being partially true. impressive book though … lol anyway, good point.
