These women cannot think for themselves, and love to be told what to read, buy, and think.
Reading a book because some celebrity says you should and you want to be part of that 'special' group is pretty near as bad as not reading at all.
I"m sure there will be many on this board who will strongly disagree.

You should watch Martha. It's funny- the difference in viewers. The different responses to getting free kindle's is a good example.
It is scary though the amount of power that woman (Oprah) holds. Like when she told people not to eat beef and beef sales dropped like 30% or something crazy like that?
