I can say that Oprah and I do not enjoy reading the same types of books. I find her recommendations too slow and depressing.

However, to say that I "avoid" her recommendations is extreme. It suggests that she would stop me from reading something that I wanted (to read) which isn't the case. However, if she recommends a book, I will read the reviews a little more carefully to see if its her usual before buying.

- I've read maybe 2 books she's recommended that I have enjoyed.
- I've tried to start a handful of other books she's recommended over the past years that I haven't been able to get finish (I am the type who won't finish a book that I'm not enjoying).
- The rest I've ignored.
