Oprah's latest book club selection seems to not deserve its non-fiction billing.

I wonder how Oprah will react to this information, not because i give a crap about Oprah, but because i wonder if she thinks it matters enough to make a fuss about it.

The first hit for 'salon "million things"' is actually a puff piece (http://www.salon.com/mwt/feature/2003/04/19/frey/print.html) from April 2003. Refining the search to 'site:salon.com "million things"' yields a much more critical review (http://www.salon.com/books/feature/2005/10/11/frey/print.html). I'm wondering what changed at Salon in 2½ years.

As to why the book is still being talked about, well, i think we can blame Oprah for that. As the guys at TSG said, they just wanted to get a mugshot of the guy to add to their gallery.

I eagerly look forward to your drama queen rant, if that paragraph is any indication of what you have brewing.

I'm more amused about the child whore who wasn't....
