What other public personality is such a
driving force in America's reading habits today? I don't know that anyone has move influence than
Oprah and her
Book Club. One of the most self-affecting titles that has made her list in the past (February 1999) is
The Reader by
Bernhard Schlink. This book was translated from the German Der Vorleser in 1997 by Carol Brown Janeway. I belive I read it in early 1998. Today it has been made into an academy award winning movie that is coming to
DVD this month. It blurs the lines between what is evil and good, who is the enemy and who is a friend. Nothing is ever black and white like the superhero comics.
