I think I'd have been quite annoyed with her for employing denial as a coping strategy!

Oprah's choices have included Dickens,Marquez,Tolstoy, Paton Wiesel--I could go on and on. <br /><br />Mind you, I have to admit to having a book snob streak in myself and I'm American.

Thus far, I'd short-list it for those opening pages alone.Ali Malhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01595941215998565255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2203825390310863045.post-18282119045418400432012-03-11T21:17:19.945+00:002012-03-11T21:17:19.945+00:00Oprah has also chosen several Pulitzer winners, am...Oprah has also chosen several Pulitzer winners, amongst other "modern classics"....Paperback Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14579608422235511054noreply@blogger.com
