Greetings fellow bibliophiles. For anyone interested in keeping up with Oprah's picks for her book club, I just received this in the inbox and thought you'd be interested to read. I haven't followed Oprah's book club save for her recommendation for "100 Years of Solitude" if I'm honest, but this story of a mute child enduring this life sounds pretty engaging. Take a look at the review, and feel free to read along with Oprah and book club members the world over!Oprah, Barnes & Noble, reviewers, and readers all agree — The Story of Edgar Sawtelle is one of the best books of the year! Barnes & Noble recently picked the book as a Fall 2008 Discover Great New Writers title, and today it was named the newest Oprah's Book Club Selection. This sweeping debut novel about a sheltered mute boy thrust out into the world has been praised as "a big, mesmerizing read" (The New York Times) and "a literary thriller" (The Christian Science Monitor). Said Stephen King, "[It is] wonderful, mysterious and satisfying... Readers who pick up this novel are going to enter a richer world."
