Haven't you heard of the lemming syndrome? That's when a celebrity reads something and everyone else has to also read it. It started off with Oprah and spread to other celebrities. So if a celebrity has a Kindle, you might have to also have a Kindle. That's how it works.

Based on that, celebs should be getting a lot of free merchandise (and probably are)!

All seriousness aside, I would have made a lousy lemming. I started reading the Harry Potter series, not because Oprah recommended it, but because friends did. There was one other book on her list I read, not because it was on the list, but because it was on a topic I was interested in (I was underwhelmed by it, btw).

Oprah, smoprah. She's a purveyor of quack medicine, pseudoscience and anti-vaccination conspiracy theories. It's depressing that anyone who promotes the kind of pseudoscientific guff she sometimes features on her show would have such widespread appeal.

Yes, they are. In many cases, they are even paid to use it.
