Guilty as charged.
With regards to Oprah's recommendations, she has recommended some decent books. I believe she pipped
House of Sand and Fog by Andre Dubus III. (I may be misremembering. If she didn't, she should have.)
I don't generally take anyone's book recommendations without some knowledge of their preferences unless it's accompanied by some detail about
why they liked it--as in a decent book review.
Obviously I'm in the minority when it comes to Follet's latest. At the ConnectStore, the #1 seller right now is
Pillars of the Earth.
World Without End is #2.
