Not surprisingly, I don’t share Oprah’s taste — that’s cool — so don’t read her selections.

i will not, however, discount her ability to influence readers, and I think Frey’s dishonesty is a bad thing (if said dishonesty happened — I’m speaking merely as a snarky observer). If it’s fiction, great. If it’s based on real-life experiences, fine. If it’s the gospel truth, remember the importance of keeping your alibi straight.

Or getting mass quantities of people to buy into your reality

I was just reading “A Million Little Pieces” and gave up halfway through, finding it too self-serving and at times, hard to believe.

Your take please?
