Simply, a reading book club that is featured on The Oprah Winfrey Show.

Or better said by the lady of television herself…

“I love books! I think books open windows to the world for all of us.”

— Oprah Winfrey

She began this book club by choosing works of fiction then inviting the books author and selected viewers to join her for an intimate follow-up discussion.

All the book selections made on Oprahs Book Club quickly skyrocket to the top of bestseller lists. When Oprah speaks, everyone listens including with her favorite book selections for the book club.

Audio book fans should use this book club to add great audio book titles to their personal talking audio book lists.

April 2002, brought sad times as Oprah put the Book Club on hold until June 2003. She re-launched the book club in 2003 with John Steinbeck’s “East of Eden” another selection which leaped up the best sellers list. With this re-launch, the Oprahs Book Club had a goal to become the biggest Book Club in the world. A task only a person like Oprah Winfrey could sucessfully achieve.
