Has anybody else read this? It's one of the best books I've read in a long time and I'd love to discuss it with anybody else who's read it.

I rememeber really wanting to read it last year and then Oprah snatched it up, making me lost a lot of interest. Despite that, I"m definitely going to read it soon becaue I have heard nothing but good things about it.

Excellent. It was unreal, and I strongly recommend that you read it.

I remember a few months before Oprah caught on a woman came in and told me the book was going to be huge. We ordered forty copies and they were gone in a week.

That says a lot, eh? I don't know anybody else who's read this but myself, and I'm trying to convince my friends to read it so I can discuss it with them too.

Awesome. Tell me what you think of it once you get around to reading it.

It's a hardcover book I'm proud to own.
