Oprah had the book world a twitter all day long with two scoops of booky goodness. Cormac MCCarthy was on her show (his first television appearance - ever) this afternoon talking about his book, The Road (reviewed by BGB here). It awaits on my TiVo. More on that later…

Meanhwile, word has been leaking out all day long that the next Oprah-sanctioned book will be the Pulitzer-winning Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides (reviewed by BGB here). Fantastic book. First The Road, then Middlesex - is Oprah trying to blow the collective minds of the US populace single handedly? Hats off.
