Look, we here at Chicagoist want to make sure you have all the latest news so you’re not waiting on the edge of your seat for important information. We know how vital it is to be up to date for our readers, especially when you’ve been waiting, waiting so long to finally hear what Oprah’s next Book Club book will be.

Ready?

Are you sure?

Maybe you just want to go take a quick bathroom/smoke/chat break so you can hold off the inevitability of answers for one minute more?

No?

Mkay, the Oprah Book Club book is going to be Sidney Poitier’s Measure of a Man: A Spiritual Autobiography. It certainly sounds like an Oprah Book Club Book, just from title alone. We’re good with that though — Poitier remains one of the most handsome men of history, and we’re sure he’s a pretty deep fellow that has some interesting things to say. And even though we may tease a bit, we still think Oprah is doing a good thing — anything to get people reading is alright with us.
