Oprah's Favorite Books from the Past Decade
When we asked Oprah to pick the 10 books she's read in the past decade that have mattered to her most, she was momentarily stumped. Only 10? Still, she offered up the following:
O, The Oprah Magazine  |  From the May 2010 issue of O, The Oprah Magazine
The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver
The Poisonwood Bible

By Barbara Kingsolver
576 pages; Harper Perennial


This novel is about a family embroiled in the political turmoil of postcolonial Africa. It established Kingsolver as one of our wisest observers of history, politics, and human nature.

Oprah's next pick: Night by Elie Wiesel
