Oprah's Book Club.

"When I was a little girl the heads of my paper dolls came off, and it was a long time before I discovered that my own head would not fall off if I bent my neck. I used to walk around holding it very stiff because I thought a strong wind or a heavy push would snap my neck. Nel was the one who told me the truth. But she was wrong. I did not hold me head stiff enough when I met him so I lost it just like the dolls."

--Sula, Toni Morrison.

My goal in life is to read all of the books in Oprah's Book Club. I think it's a worthy goal. So who is with me? ; ) I've read...five of them so far. Now that's progress...or not.
