Woot! I've read a few of those. The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks was pretty fantastic. Can't wait to read Paper Towns. Which one would you pass over?

Very cool though---there's definitly a lot of people who listen to Oprah who wouldn't otherwise hear about these books. My love for the Dispreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks is intense.

I hope Oprah keeps the club going; no doubt she'll provide some much-needed exposure for YA authors. Many awesome choices on that list, only some of which I have read.
