I agree about the bookclub and pretty much everything else, that if O says it’s good, we all HAVE to have it! I am guilty of that for sure! However, her bookclub maybe got a lot of people reading that probably wouldn’t have as much, and different types of books that people would not have been inspiried to read originally. It did always irk me how if an author appeared on Oprah, he/she was instant success in sales! I am sure it will live on after her show ends….!!!

I really need to get myself to Chicago before she leaves! I idiolize Oprah and everything she has touched. Love, love, love. Love Harpo Productions, love the magazine, love the charitable work she’s done.

Did you know that Oprah makes so much money per year that if she dropped a $20 note, it wouldn’t be worth her time to bend down and pick it up? Just sayin’.

I guess it was like shorthand for people; if O likes it then it must be good. But her taste was so Predictable! The second-hand shop near me in Bkk used to have a shelf dedicated to O Book Club reads which people had bought for the flight over and then just left behind. And yes I did try them, some were good but mostly not my kind of thing. Now I’m sitting here trying to think of a talk show host whose opinion I would follow?? Miriam O Callagahan maybe?

Just wondering, from a purely academic/professional point of view, do you take issue with her book choices or the fact that people only choose what she puts out there? I don’t really have an opinion so I’m just wondering.

Oh, I would love a cupcake bakery when I come to visit Dublin. The cake and cupcakes there are so dry and bland. Nothing like here in the states. Then again, Ireland is the country that makes things like traditional wedding cake and Christmas cake. Eeww. I had a wedding cake made in Limerick for my husband and flown over the US and it was still good a week later. Something about that just isn’t right. And he was still eating it after we got home from our TWO week honeymoon. I can’t believe I faked a bite of it for a picture. You should have seen my face.

I agree with Amy. You did tell me that there aren’t any great cupcake places in Dublin…you should definitely consider the cupcake bakery idea.
