Oprah Book Recommendation Your Ticket to Exciting Books

Bookworms now rely on an Oprah book recommendation. When Oprah says it is a good book, thousands make a beeline to bookstores and unconventional outlets.

What’s the Latest?

An Oprah book recommendation takes off the apprehension of getting a “lemon” of a book and true to her word Oprah picks out exciting books from classics to current fiction and non-fiction. How she is able to interest people on classics and difficult books, and encourage parents to get books for their children has become talking points for analysts trying to pinpoint how she does it.

At this time, all attention is on The Story of Edgar Sawtelle by David Wroblewski and A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle. The first is a gripping story about a mute boy who had dogs for friends and protectors; the second focused on spiritual awakening. These books were the top picks for the Oprah book recommendation in 2008.

In 2007, Oprah gushed over these books -- The Pillars of the Earth (Ken Follet), Love in the Time of Cholera (Gabriel Garcia Marquez), Middlesex (Jeffrey Eugenides), The Road (Cormac McCarthy), and The Measure of a Man (Sidney Poitier). These books immediately gained a following after her endorsements.

If you want to read all the books Oprah has recommended, note there are more than 60 books, you need to go her first set in 1996: The Deep End of the Ocean (Jacquelyn Mitchard), Song of Solomon (Toni Morrison), The Book of Ruth (Jane Hamilton), and She’s Come Undone (Wally Lamb). You can find several sites online offering a comprehensive list of the Oprah book recommendation but the best site would be www.oprah.com.

Oprah’s Children’s List

The Children’s List is categorized according to age. Infants to two-year olds have classics like Goodnight Moon, Pat the Bunny, Clap Hands, Moo Baa La La La, and Spots, Feathers, and Curly Tails. The 3 to 5 year olds will surely enjoy new releases like Up, Down, and Around, Never Take a Shark to the Dentist, Monkey and Me, and I’m Bad. Older children have their set of books too from classics to contemporary books.

What Makes Oprah Book Recommendation Hot?

Being an avid reader and when a book excites her, she wants to share her find with everybody. She also interviews the authors because she has burning questions to ask (and so do the readers). It’s this endearing style that leads to book discussions and which give readers more insights to the books.

Oprah book recommendation eclipsed other book recommendations, The Literary Guild, Book-of-the-Month Club, and Quality Paperback Books. In her home, she has an impressive library and she “confesses” that the best book she ever read was “To Kill a Mockingbird.” She also surrounds herself with books of African-American authors in her complete set of Heritage Series.
