I have a vague memory of seeing a list out there of Oprah readalikes but
can't find anything. I have searched the Fiction_L archives and webpage.
Can anyone point me to a list on the web or send me a copy? Thanks a bunch!

Karen,
I can send you paper copies of the Kansas City, Kansas
Public Library Oprah Readalikes if you like. Let me
know.

And for anyone who's interested, I'm just finishing up
the Readalikes for _Book of Ruth_; _Breath, Eyes,
Memory_; _White Oleander_; _Rapture of Canaan_; and
_Lesson Before Dying_. All the others are works in
progress and my goal is to have them ALL done by the
end of the summer. Keeping up with Oprah isn't easy.
;)

As one other list member has noted, Booklist has an ongoing series of "After Oprah" bibliographies. "After Oprah" appeared in our Sept. 1, 1997, issue; "After Oprah 2" in June 1999, and "After Oprah 3" in Aug. 1999. So far, we have supplied read-alikes for all of Oprah's fiction titles announced between Sept. 1996 and May 1999. We will be doing After Oprah 4 later this year.

I have seen at least two in previous editions of Book List. One was over a year
ago.
I am at home and can't check. IF it's not Book List, then it would be Library
Journal.
