Yesterday I listened patiently as my mother read me an article about Oprah's book club in our local Sunday paper. As many of you have probably heard, Oprah has decided to open her book club to ALL books. It will be interesting to see what exactly this means. My take on this is that Oprah means all books by authors both living and dead. My mother seems to think it means all books period. I have a hard time imagining Oprah picking genre fiction. She seems to lean more towards serious literary fiction, which my book ain't. Though in her announcement she did say the book club would broaden the field in its selections. But I think she means more non-fiction books. I personally think I have a better chance of being struck by lightning while holding a winning powerball ticket than getting my book picked by Oprah.  But I'm glad her announcement made my mother happy. Though now she's going to bug me until I send a copy.

Yesterday I watched Crooklyn on TV One's Throwback Theater.  Crooklyn is one of my favorite movies. I'm a child of the seventies and Spike Lee really nailed the time period. Plus, I'll watch anything that fine ass  Delroy Lindo is in.

And speaking of fine, it seems actor Blair Underwood is jumping on the mystery writing bandwagon.  I can't wait to read his erotic mystery series which is being co-authored by Tananarive Due. Has anyone heard anything more about Blair Underwood's movie adaptation of Due's novel The Living Blood? I wonder if it's still in the works.

Hi Angela...

I think you should go down to that ritzy Chicago High rise where Oprah has a penthouse and leave a few of your books around the lobby or something! (LOL).

I think you should send in a copy. Chances are that her producers pick book copies. I don't see Oprah picking up a book and saying, "Gee, I really like this. Let's make it a selection!"

I like Crooklyn, too. I could watch it all day. I just love nostalgic 70's stuff. I was the same age as the daughter is in the movie back in the 70's. I remember my hair being straightened. I remember Afro puffs. And Delroy is indeed fine!

I'm waiting on that My soul to keep/Living Blood movie. That's one of my favorite books. Last I heard, Fox Searchlight was backing it...

Hi Ladylee-

I love 70's stuff too! I remember being mad if my bell bottoms didn't cover my shoes, our orange shag carpet and green furniture, watching Scooby Doo, Good Times, and Hawaii Five O on TV, arguing with my friends over which one of the Jackson 5 was the finest, riding my bike with the banana seat! LOL! That was a very vivid time in my memory. Yeah, I probably will send a book to Oprah. What the hell nothing ventured nothing gained. :)

I think that you should send a book too--heck, I've been planning to bombard Oprah with my books the moment I decided to become a writer. :)

And yay for Blair! Hopefully this will help blacks see that there are more options out there for them besides singing,rapping and playing sports.

Angela-Hi! I can't wait to read Blair's new books. I wonder when they'll be out? Nice name by the way :).

I love CROOKLYN too!
