But what I wanted to say was the library clerk asked me if Oprah had put AS on her book club list. The book has been extremely popular lately. I explained that the book is political, and seems to speak to people about what is currently going on. He said that he had read the book in high school (he was perhaps 20 or so) and knew it was political.
Even having read the book, he seemed truly puzzled about the reason for it's sudden popularity.
That's a shame.
Oprah. Wow. I would have either been utterly speechless or on the floor laughing.
