In 1996,
The Oprah Winfrey Show introduced Oprah’s Book Club – and the publishing world has never been the same.
Since Oprah selected her first work,
The Deep End of the Ocean by Jacquelyn Mitchard, books – fiction, non-fiction, troubled memoirs – have skyrocketed to popularity. And the episodes in which Oprah discussed the book, typically with the author present, are some of the most popular interviews the talk show host has conducted.
Below, you will find titles chosen in 2001:
