...stage (James Frey). The all-powerful Oprah Book Club is not so much a club as a ruthlessly influential marketing vehicle, with the power to fundamentally alter best-seller lists, Amazon rankings and royalty payments. Sure, the "club" has 2 million "members" and a web site that provides a space for users to share thoughts on featured titles, read excerpts and get advice like, "How to Read a Hard Book." But in the 12 years Oprah's Book Club has existed, its significance has been - from the perspective of authors and editors, at least - not its sense of community...

You want a wood-carved stamp for “The World According to Garp...
...because the Fogg is such a historical building.”For security reasons, the museum staff cannot discuss when specific objects will be moved, nor can they disclose the location of the new off-site facility where they will be stored during construction. The facility will include office space for the museum staff and will house the art collections of all three museums—Fogg, Sackler, and Busch-Reisinger—but will not be open to the public. This facility is still under construction, however, making it likely that few, if any, works have been removed from...
