The Oprah Book Club began introducing one book a month to her viewers in 1996. With her charisma the rallying flag in her "Get-off-the-Couch-and-Read-a-Book" revolution, Oprah joined viewers in reading books and asked authors to be on her show--a special honor, indeed.
一九九六年，歐普拉開始在自己的電視節目設立「讀書俱樂部」，每月選擇一本書介紹給電視觀眾，她和大家一同讀書，並請作者親自上節目與讀者交流。
