Anna Karenina on Oprah

nbruce writes “The newest selection (the 5th) for Oprah’s classic book club choice is Anna Karenina, the first on her long list that she admits she’s never read.

“I cannot imagine a world where the great works of literature are not read. My hope is The Oprah Winfrey Show will make classic works of literature accessible to every woman and man who reads. … I hope to invite readers throughout the world to visit or revisit a universe of books of enduring usefulness, because I believe that the sublimity of this experience, this gift to ourselves, is something that we owe to ourselves.” — Oprah Winfrey
