A New Earth
I have never read an Oprah book club book that I know of, but I started reading A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle so I could do her interactive class. It's pretty cool.

Larry Hartman turned me onto Eckhart Tolle's "Power of Now" 10 or so years ago. Very good, but so very deep. It reminded me of Ram Dass's "Be Here Now" from 1971. If I ever finish this doctorate, I swear, I'm going to read a book that is not about research methods or educational leadership! sg ;-)
Yes, dear, you will get to read for fun, again when you are done with that paper. It took me a while to graduate back from magazines to actual books after I got done. But, now, here I am, reading for fun!
