Submitted by mwilliams on Fri, 2008-02-01 00:10.Oprah Winfrey has endorsed A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose, a book by B.C.-based spiritual teacher Eckhart Tolle, as her latest book club selection. She has long been a fan of the author and keeps his earlier work, The Power of Now, at her bedside.

Elsewhere on the web, Oprah’s continued choosing of male writers is thought to be curious:

And her recommendation of a self-help tome is deemed to be a colossal mistake:

I just roll my eyes at anything that goes in the new age section. Oprah *made* The Secret last year, and that was an awful piece of junk. Tolle, though new age, has to be somewhat better. This ought to sell him a few copies and annoy B&N booksellers the world over.
