I read an article about how avid readers went out in droves over the weekend to pick up virgin copies of Freedom before the stores were inundated with ones slathered with Oprah's Book Club stickers. That made me laugh because I was in Borders on Friday morning and they ALL said "Franzen IS Oprah's Bitch After All". Not really. But...they had the sticker. Fortunately, I bought my copy a couple of weeks before all the brouhaha started. Supposedly, my copy will be much much better than the ones laboring under the All Powerful Oprah Stamp of Approval
