Call it the Trickle-Down Theory of Readonomics, or whatever.

And of all Dickens books Oprah picks for her Book Club, she picks the one I quit reading because the main character got on my nerves too much! This all fits together nicely!</p>Leila commented on 'I shake my tiny fist* at you, Oprah.'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8345169e469e20147e06e50ea970b2010-12-06T22:49:22Z2010-12-06T22:49:22ZLeilahttp://bookshelvesofdoom.blogs.comOh, don't get me wrong: I have huge respect for what Oprah's done for reading and books. And I think...<p>Oh, don't get me wrong: I have <i>huge</i> respect for what Oprah's done for reading and books. And I think it's <i>awesome</i> that she's gone for some really old-school classics. At the same time, I still have that weird knee-jerk Dammit, I Don't Want To Read An Oprah Book feeling. I should <i>probably</i> just get over myself, but... eh. There are other Dickens books, and plenty of time to get back to <i>Great Expectations</i>.</p>
<p>Also, it should be noted, Tanita, that Josh is once again plotting your downfall. (I'll give you a heads-up if he ever gets past the plotting phase -- I do think this is the closest he's ever come to actually commenting on my blog, though!)</p>Gina commented on 'I shake my tiny fist* at you, Oprah.'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8345169e469e20147e06e4229970b2010-12-06T22:35:58Z2010-12-06T22:35:58ZGinahttp://dickensblog.typepad.comI'm no Oprah fan, never have been, and probably will be, but she just got bunches and bunches of people...<p>I'm no Oprah fan, never have been, and probably will be, but she just got bunches and bunches of people buying Dickens books. A Dickensblogger can't help but be grateful for that. :-) When you spend your life hearing, "Oh, you like Dickens, huh? I was FORCED to read him in school and it RUINED him for me forever," well, you'll take whatever help you can get!!</p>Nic Dempsey commented on 'I shake my tiny fist* at you, Oprah.'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8345169e469e20148c67635fa970c2010-12-06T18:16:38Z2010-12-06T18:16:38ZNic DempseyI struggle with Dickens but Our Mutual Friend or Bleak House are both fantastic.<p>I struggle with Dickens but Our Mutual Friend or Bleak House are both fantastic.</p>Kate commented on 'I shake my tiny fist* at you, Oprah.'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8345169e469e20148c675d690970c2010-12-06T17:08:12Z2010-12-06T17:08:12ZKateYeah, it's hard--as a real reader, not just a few books a year reader--to read an Oprah book pick.

AND, I really respect what she has done for reading. She's out there, man, saying she likes to read and putting her money where her mouth is. </p>tanita commented on 'I shake my tiny fist* at you, Oprah.'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8345169e469e20148c675bc63970c2010-12-06T16:54:51Z2010-12-06T16:54:51Ztanitahttp://tanitasdavis.comAlso?
