Oprah strikes again

Today Oprah announced her 6th classic book club title. Or I should say, 'titles.' This time she picked Faulkner, a boxed set of 3 books theme titled "A Summer of Faulkner." The titles include As I Lay Dying, The Sound and the Fury and Light in August and it comes packaged with a reader's guide. If she hasn't lost anyone beforehand, she will now! Although it could be worse; she could have picked Joyce or Proust! I personally would like to see her pick Kerouac's On the Road even if it meant poor Jack turning in his grave!

Oprah's previous picks for her classic book club are:

East of Eden by John Steinbeck
Cry the Beloved Country by Alan Paton
100 Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
The Heart is a Lonely Hunter by Carson McCullers
Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy
