Oprah makes latest book pick - CNN.com: "Oprah Winfrey announced Friday she'd chosen David Wroblewski's 'The Story of Edgar Sawtelle' as her latest book club pick, calling the debut novel a classic and the 'best novel I've read in a long, long, long time.'

'I think this book is right up there with the greatest American novels ever written, I really do,' said Winfrey at the end of 'The Oprah Winfrey Show.' Winfrey raved for several minutes about the novel, comparing it to the work of John Steinbeck and even, she said, Harper Lee, author of 'To Kill a Mockingbird.'"
