I have to say that it was Wally Lamb's "I Know This Much Is True", while I hardly read that much fiction this is definately the one that left an impression on me. It's about twin brothers, one schizoprenic and his brother hates what this illness does to his brother, hates his brother sometimes but his need to protect his brother (because he was powerless growing up with their abusive father and mother who was a victim). Also his struggle to fix his failed marriage and regretful feelings, his car seller friend is funny. This book was great for me because the dialogue and storytelling was just like being talked to. I did read reviews on She's Come Undone and many were surprised to find it was written by a man. Wally's books do have a dreadfulness about them and resolution is a premium so if this is not your type of read then these books are probably not for you. But for someone that can really relate then it offers a whole different experience.
What is your pick? Any old AND new ones? Any thoughts on the book club?

The only Oprah Book Club book that I have read has been "Million Little Pieces" I read it after Oprah "outed" him for him fabricating some of the facts. I have to say it was the first book in years that I picked up and read it almost non-stop. I also read the sequel. I wasn't quite as captivating as the first, but still very well written. Is there a discussion board for her book club? I did't know she still did it!!

Yea, OPRAH book club is definately alive and well, right now its Eckhart Tolle's A NEW EARTH which is a much bigger event than previous book discussions, its live feed.
