Thanks for the tip! I'm pretty sure I read "Pillars of the Earth" and "Middlesex" before Oprah put them on her list, or at least I wasn't aware that they were Oprah books at the time that I read them.
After I wrote my post (and looking up Oprah's book picks on Wikipedia), I realised that there are quite a few Oprah books that I have read and enjoyed as well (without being aware at the time that they were Oprah books, with a few exceptions). Maybe I should start actively looking for new books to read among the Oprah Book Club books... Also, I wonder why her books have gotten a bad rep?
