More of Oprah’s Book Club?

Last night Oprah announced the debut of her new nighttime series, “Oprah’s Next Chapter.” The show will appear on the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) in late 2011, and in it the Queen of Talk will travel around the world for her interviews.

A statement from the network said, “If she can dream it, she’ll do it!”

Of course, in the book world there’s been much speculation about whether she’ll continue to promote books. A recent interview with the Wall Street Journal suggests she will:

Ms. Winfrey said she also may appear in other OWN shows including a possible book-club show. “My name’s going to show up on that grid a lot,” she said.

Do you choose books based on Oprah’s recommendations? On a slightly related note, will you read Kitty Kelley’s unauthorized Oprah: A Biography, due April 13 from Crown?
