Oprah Winfrey heads OWN (Oprah Winfrey Network). Her all-time favourite book is ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ by Harper Lee. This book talks about how a little girl views the people around her. Winfrey quotes, "I remember reading this book and then going to class and not being able to shut up about it." She further says, "I read it in eighth or ninth grade, and I was trying to push the book off on other kids. So it makes sense to me that now I have a book club, because I have been doing that since probably this book."
奥普拉-温弗瑞是她自己开办温弗瑞电视网络公司的CEO。她最爱的书籍是哈珀-李的《杀死一只知更鸟》。这本书以一个小女孩的视角来看待她周围的人。温弗瑞在曾说过：“我记得以前读这本书，然后去学校上课就一个劲不停地讨论书中的故事。我大概是在八、九年级读的，然后一直在给其他同学推荐这本书。所以说，现在我主持读书会也是很有道理的，因为我可能从这本书开始就学会给别人推荐了。
