Removed "Through the Cage Door My Journey From Paralysis to the UFC" by Cole Escovedo. This is not on the list.
Removed "A Short History of Nearly Everything" by Bill Bryson. It's not on the list of Oprah's books.
I just added the underground railroad by Colson Whitehead since I just got an announcement that it was added to o's book club list and I verified on her page. Now I look forward to reading it!!
I have read 32 of the77. 17 received five stars, 11 received four stars, 3 received three stars and 1 received two stars. Cry, The Beloved Country comes to mind as well as The Poisonwood Bible. I have read almost everything by Kingsolver. White Oleander also stands out.
Lynn wrote: "What I really enjoyed about Oprahs book list?..Being introduced to difficult different types of Authors.Some I would not have read if left on my own to choose a book..I found I was playing it safe ..."
What a wonderful experience. I feel the same way about her selections.

Pat, I saw that too. Unfortunately, I can't remove or duplicate them because one of them is a book that contains both novels, A Tale of Two Cities and Great Expectations, which are both Oprah's picks. It's kind of irritating to me that I can't fix it or separate the votes.

I am excited that Oprah has picked 2 new books recently for her book club:
The Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead
and
Love Warrior: A Memoir by Glennon Doyle Melton
I am also removing a couple of books that have been added but are not part of the book club books.
Before Women Had Wings by Connie May Fowler
The Last Time They Met by Anita Shreve
The Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead
and

Thanks Rachel. I am going to remove the books now. I am not the "owner" of the list, but I have been trying to keep it correct.

A lot of good books to stretch your mind, even the ones not on the "official" list. JMHO
