Oprah's Book Club is a popular book club as decided on by talk show host Oprah Winfrey. Because of the book club's wide popularity, many obscure titles have become very popular bestsellers, increasing sales by as many as a million copies at the height of the book club's popularity. Winfrey suspended her book club in 2002, but brought it back in 2003, focusing more on classics.

Many literature critics have criticized Oprah's book selections as overly sentimental.
