Hunkered down to watch the Simpsons this afternoon, and accidentally caught the end of Oprah. (O.k…….. that's a lie -I'm a fucking Oprah addict)

Seems Cormac McCarthy has won the pulitzer prize for 'The Road.'

Congrats. It's a great novel. Unfortunately, when I bought my copy, I only bought it on the condition that the 'Oprah Book Club' sticker could be peeled off.

How embarassing.

I wonder if she actually reads the books that she recommends? I seriously doubt it.

If so, it makes me wonder if she's read other C.M books?

Do you suppose she was shocked at 'Child of God's' necrophilia scenes, or 'Outer Dark's' hillbilly incest scenes?

Or at the very least, the sentimentally poignant scalping scenes in 'Blood Meridian.' 

I wonder how shocked she was at the scene with the baby being cooked on a spit so it could be eaten in 'The Road?'

Wonder if she enjoyed them……….
