Oprah's Book Club Returns...

Ladies and Gentlemen....drum roll... Oprah's Book Club has returned! What? You're not rushing to the bookstore to purchase Sidney Poitier's Autobiography The Measure of a Man? Well, truthfully, neither am I.
I have to say, while Ms. Winfrey's book club is somewhat cheesy. She has inspired millions more people (women especially) to read more books. Which is always a good thing. And Mr. Poitier certainly deserves the accolades and millions of dollars this opportunity will present.
It is an interesting choice this autobiography. It is a choice with a clearly defined genre, a subject which is easily fact checked, and a PBS documentary tie-in! After the last book club round with the Frey debacle I'm sure Oprah wants no controversy.
