I've actually read One Hundred Years of Solitude. I'm in the midst of reading Love in the Time of Cholera right now actually. Love myself the Magic Realism, I do. Now that Oprahs's moved to classices, she's made the bookclub pretty classy - but Fall On Your knee's was classic only in that it was weepy, liberal, housewifey, drivel - early-era Oprah crap. But I read it. Hrrrmmm.

I know I'm supposed to make fun of you, and while I haven't read that particular one, I've always liked every Oprah Book Club book I've ever read. They're high quality usually... In fact, I think she has a crazy staff of grad students who pick the books out. Some of my favorites: The Sound and the Fury by Falkner (in fact, I think she had a whole summer of Falkner), One Hundred Years of Solitude by Marquez, Anna Karenina by Tolstoy, East of Eden by Steinbeck and We Were the Mulvaneys by Oates. Those are just the books I own that have the Oprah's Book Club label on it.

BUT YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE MAKING FUN OF ME! It says so right up there in the title. By the way, I highly reccomend you all do this. It's pretty cathartic. But: it is of the upmost importance that you don't try to explain away the awful things. Just put it out there. No excuses. You guys are sweet.

Too bad, a) I'm not a jerk, and b) there actually aren't any. I lied.

For instance, I definitely owned (still own?) all those shades of nail polish and more; I had two fuzzy animal-shaped backpacks- one a duck, one a leopard- and I definitely had more than my fair share of AE logo t-shirts. However, I have since seen the error of my ways (in everything but the nail polish) and reserve that only as a guilty pleasure. Well that, and watching House of Carters like it's the oxygen I breathe. Don't worry, I still like you. Not even in spite of this list but *because* of it!
