The fact that I remember it is testament to its quality since I frequently forget what I read yesterday. I like Oprah books a lot because they are generally great light reading, but are well-written and different enough to be interesting. The books paraded through her days like living, breathing personalities. She watched them leave in the company of others while she, a literary yenta, hoped for a successful match. Some were chosen for their pretty faces, some because they came from a good family, some were blind dates that she set up with high hopes for a rewarding union. A SOng I Knew By Heart right now and debating about quitting. You may have read Jewel by him; it was an Oprah selection, and I read another- The Hunt Club-- that I was neutral about. His style isn't much to my liking. FUnny because my favorite books are about people and the small details of life, and I love Southern writers, but well, he is sort of boring.
