i really agree with these two:
We hate when a book becomes popular simply because it was turned into a movie
Oprah was not the "final say" on what is awesome. We really didn't care what was on her show or what her latest book club book was. Really.
i hate it when a book that i like becomes an oprah book... seeing that stupid oprah's book club graphic on a book that i like pains me...especially when it is on one my favorite ones like anna karenina and east of eden...i doubt a typical oprah viewer would take the time and really read anna karenina or east of eden....the ones who bought it probably thought it was a nicholas sparks (see bullet point number 3 on the list) type book, but quickly realized it wasn't some sappy chick lit novel...i won't spend more time on why i hate what she and her show represents, but it is funny that some borders employees feel the same way
