Will Oprah Ever Choose A Christian Fiction Novel?

I was at home sick from work yesterday, and while I was laying in the bed, I watched Oprah. She announced the book pick for the summer, Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides. I read this book a few years ago, and it’s great writing. I tend to read mostly Christian fiction titles, however, I do read secular, and literary works as time permits.

You ever wonder if Oprah will ever pick a Christian fiction novel? I doubt it, but I guess it could happen. I do know I’ve heard her say on a few occasions that she doesn’t read or like romances, so I guess that eliminates all Christian romance titles from being future Oprah picks. However, it would be nice if she were to pick a Christian fiction title, even it it isn’t a romance. I wonder if she’s ever read any of the books from the Left Behind series?

Maybe the next time I read the greatest Christian fiction novel to date, I’ll send it to Oprah, asking her to consider recommending it on her show? If time permits, I just may do that! 🙂
