Hmmm. I guess I'm not a big Oprah Book Club fan. Several of these have passed through my hands: I found them at yard sales or thrift stores and either set them free or gave them to other BXers. My mother has copies of several others that I may read someday, but since Mt. TBR currently consists of just under 200 volumes, I doubt it will be anytime soon...
