	Oprah's Book Fatigue - How fiction's best friend ran out of stuff to read. By Chris Lehmann (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The Oprah club is now its own recognizable market brand—and its very titles serve as shorthand for commonly recognized genre conventions: tales of lurid family abuse, tales of the individual struggle of redemption, and—God help us all—tale upon tale of three generations of women absorbing life's hard knocks in a small town.
		Oprah's selections followed repetitive theme not only because she picked issues that were relevant to her but because she seemed intent on recommending only those books that she herself might have written.
		Indeed, Oprah was never running a book club so much as providing her endorsements for a self-help library that, as it turned out, contained about seventy volumes provided to the reader at the rate of one per month.

		Oprah's not afraid to stand up to politicians, correcting Gore on her program in 2000 when he called CDs "albums." (She noted that the word was outdated.) And she would know how to coax reluctant witnesses to pipe up with important information at hearings.

		On the downside, Oprah would likely face opposition from the cattle industry, which lost a lawsuit against her (after she said, on a 1996 program, that she would not eat another hamburger because of concerns about mad cow disease).
