A
New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose (Oprah's Book Club)
by
Tolle, Eckhart
With his bestselling spiritual guide The Power
of Now, Eckhart Tolle inspired millions of readers to discover
the freedom and joy of a life lived "in the new". In
A New Earth, Tolle expands on these powerful ideas to show how
transcending our ego-based state of consciousness is not only
essential to personal happiness, but also the key to ending conflict
and suffering throughout the world. Tolle describes how our attachment
to the ego creates the dysfunction that leads to anger, jelousy,
and unhappiness, and shows readers how to awaken to a new state
of consciousness and follow the path to a truly fulfilling existence.

Middlesex
by
Eugenides, Jefffrey
In the spring of 1974, Calliope Stephanides, a student
at a girls' school in Grosse Pointe, finds herself drawn to a chain-smoking,
strawberry blond clasmate with a gift for acting. The passion that
furtively develops between themalong with Callie's failure to developleads
Callie to suspect that she is not like other girls. In fact, she
is not really a girl at all.
The explanation for this shocking state of affairs takes us out
of suburbia- back before the Detroit race riots of 1967, before
the rise of the Motor City and Prohibition, to 1922, when the Turks
sacked Smyrna and Callie's grandparents fled for their lives. Back
to a tiny village in Asia Minor where two lovers, and one rare genetic
mutation, set in motion the metamorphosis that will turn Callie
into a being both mythical and perfectly real: a hermaphrodite.

About
the Prize
Oprah's
Book Club is a book club segment of the American talk show The Oprah
Winfrey Show, highlighting books chosen by host Oprah Winfrey. Winfrey
started
the book club in 1996 by selecting a new book each month. Because of
the book
club's wide popularity, many obscure titles have become very popular
bestsellers,
increasing sales by as many as a million copies at the height of the
book club's
popularity; this occurrence is known colloquially as the Oprah effect.
In
2002, Winfrey suspended the book club and revived it the following year,
with
the format shifted. In the new format, Winfrey would no longer be selecting
a
new book each month, but would instead select books on a more limited
basis.
Winfrey also began to focus on classic works of literature starting
with the summer
selection of East of Eden. In September 2005, Winfrey announced she
would be
opening the book club up to a wide range of titles and genres, including
non-fiction and memoir.
Recently,
Winfrey returned to fiction with her selection of The Road by Cormac
McCarthy. Shortly after this selection, The Road was awarded the Pulitzer
Prize for Fiction. Winfrey conducted the first ever television interview
with
McCarthy, a famously reclusive author, on June 5, 2007. On that same
day,
Winfrey revealed Middlesex (novel) by Jeffrey Eugenides as her 2007
Summer Selection.
