Oprah Announces New Book Club Pick

On Tuesday, January 20, Oprah announced that the next title to be read by Oprah's Book Club is HarperPerennial's One Hundred Years of Solitude by Nobel Prize-winner Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Set in a mythical town in Latin America, the novel chronicles the history of one family, while exploring the universal themes of love and lust, war and revolution, riches and poverty, and youth and senility.

On her Web site, Oprah says of the novel, "Gabriel Garcia Marquez takes us inside a fantastical world where the lines of magic and reality are blurred. Anything is possible and everything is believable. Open your mind and let your imagination fly!"
