Oprah’s Next Book Club Pick

Oprah announces her next pick on Monday, the same day that Jonathan Franzen appears on the show to discuss the current one, Freedom.

According to industry news site, Publishers Lunch, “It’s a big fat paperback from Penguin, with an unknown page count but a listed shipping weight of 1.9 pounds. The print book has a list price of $20, but the ebook currently has an agency price of only $7.99.”

Could it be the new edition of Madame Bovary, translated by Lydia Davis?

No, its list price is $27.95 and the weight is 1.4 pounds.

Any ideas?

    Is it definitely a paperback? The new Penguin Classics Hardcovers are about $20.00 and the weight is certainly right.
