Oprah's Favorite Things 2007

Oprah's Favorite Things: The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett

Oprah says her 60th Book Club selection, The Pillars of the Earth, is the book to give this holiday season.

Author Ken Follett's epic tale, which is set in 12th century England, is about the quest to build the world's greatest Gothic cathedral, and the struggle between good and evil. "You will not be able to put it down," she says. "It's the perfect gift for under $25."

To make these books extra special for the Macon audience, Oprah's team tracked down the author in Australia so he could autograph every copy!
