Her 61st Oprah's Book Club selection is: "A New Earth" by Eckhart Tolle. "It was an awakening for me that I want for you, too," her press release says. Hilel Itale of The Associated Press writes: Tolle, whose other books include “The Power of Now” and “Stillness Speaks,” is a native of Germany who now lives in Vancouver, British Columbia. According to his Web site, he advocates “transcending our ego-based state of consciousness” as a “prerequisite not only for personal happiness but also for the ending of violent conflict endemic on our planet.” The choice marks something of a departure for Winfrey after reviving her book club in 2002 with an emphasis on “classics,” such as John Steinbeck’s “East of Eden” and William Faulkner’s “As I Lay Dying.” Since then, she has chosen a number of contemporary novels, including Cormac McCarthy’s “The Road,” “The Pillars of Earth” and Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s “Love in the Time of Cholera,” as well as Sidney Poitier’s memoir, “The Measure of a Man.” |
