Oprah's Book Club began In 1996. It was on-air reading club, intended to get the country excited about literature again. All Oprah Book Club selections to date have become instant bestsellers. Winfrey's choices averaged one new book a month for the next six years. Oprah Winfrey discontinued the book club for one year in 2002, stating that she could not keep up with the required reading in order to find contemporary books that she enjoyed. When revived in 2003, books were selected on a more limited basis (three or four a year) and an emphasis was switched to classic works of literature, In September of 2005, Winfrey announced she would be opening the book club up to a wide range of titles and genres, including non-fiction and memoir.
