Oprah Winfrey and the Glamour of Misery: An Essay on Popular Culture

Has anyone on here read this? I bought it as a gift once for my former roommate who loves Oprah, but I'm not sure if she ever got around to reading it. I think this book might be great. I am very interested in Oprah, and I find it so fascinating how much people hate her. I don't hate Oprah at all! I actually think she's pretty awesome. And of course, I want to know more about the Glamour of Misery.... who wouldn't?
