The problem with Oprah is that she once had credibility but now-a-days she has so obviously sold out to anyone who the ability to wave money under her nose for a free book plug !
Nice to be able to go back to trust and friendship!!!!!!!!!
It's a mixed up sensation this being alive
Oh! it wears a man down into the ground
It's the strangest elation
I can't describe it

1200 page bruiser of a sequel to a book I really enjoyed, about the building of a twelfth century cathedral in a fictitious English town.
It's two centuries later, but the intrigue, politics, sex,and violence continue apace...

Lady Day biography.
This'll be going on holiday with me in a couple of weeks.

Ordered Kindle e-readers while we were away.
Arrived yesterday, so once the i-Pod is repopulated, we'll be getting to grips with those.
