Not trying to be a smart butt, but this has statememt got me to thinking.
If readers select the book on their own without prompting from Oprah, then I guess there wouldn't be an issue. Would it make a difference if it were an internet or local book club instead of a nationally televised one? Does that make Toni Morrison's "The Bluest Eye" any less worthy since it became "Oprah-ized"?
You know, where is Lawrence Ross? I would like to get an author's POV.
