Oprah's 10 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:
A Fine Balance
By Rohinton Mistry
624 pages; Vintage
A Dickensian novel about India during the Emergency. Like the aftermath of September 11, it teaches us about cultures we haven't understood. "It takes us out of our own little shell and exposes us to a whole other world out there," Oprah says.
Oprah's next pick: East of Eden by John Steinbeck
