I'm upset that Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides is now a part of the Oprah book club.

I mean, I understand why; it's a great book! But I'm annoyed by the fact that whenever I do get around to buying it -- because I want it for my own library collection -- that it will have a giant OPRAH'S BOOKCLUB stamp on it.

Oprah, must you leave your mark on

How old is it? Maybe you can find a pre-Oprah copy at a used book store or something?

[malonwic]

I don't buy used books. So that won't work. :)

Pfffft. Too good for a few questionable stains? :p

I love used books, myself, but to each their own.

I found several copies w/o oprah on it :D

Really? This is awesome news, thank you! And yes, I'm being picky. And second, that is one of the very few times that I have ever been called Kris...fantastic! :)

would you like an oprah- less copy? before they are snatched up by all the anti-oprah? LOL

So I just read your post on our friendly neighborhood under-the-counter community, and it made me think: I don't know any girls from Canadia named Kris. Perhaps you can fix this?

I'm Jon. I hope you don't mind if I friend you?
