Franzenfest: Rampant Speculation Edition

The blog of an independent bookstore in Massachusetts claims that a sales rep for Macmillan, publisher of FREEDOM, has told them Oprah's next pick is one of Macmillan's hardcovers. Could it be FREEDOM?!?!?!

I don't think this is likely, but it tickles me to find out that bookstores have to order the Oprah's Book Club pick in bulk without knowing what it is. That's why her hair's so big, it's full of secrets!

I don't believe it would be Freedom. Franzen refused to kiss the ring the last time around, and, from Oprah's perspective, picking Franzen again would almost make it look as if she needs him more than he needs her, which is something she would never admit.
