Does anyone else remember the furor when Oprah shut down her book club with a claim that there were no books out there worth reading? When she reopened it, she put John Steinbeck back on the best-sellers' list again. I can forgive a certain amount for bringing him to people's attention, though I can't fathom why you'd need Oprah to tell you what to read. Still, better Oprah than Martha.
