The Oprah Book Club List

Oprah Winfrey has been a tremendous advocate for reading, and books on her Oprah Book Club List often make it to the top of the bestseller list.

These days, Oprah selects two or three books a year to recommend to her viewers. These books range from literary classics to contemporary novels but they all have one thing in common: all are excellent, interesting reads and also extremely thought-provoking.
