Oprah talks new book club pick with "The Covenant of Water" author Abraham Verghese

[@nishasuresh7090]

A proud malayali here .... Wow just wow after reading .. what a novel ...a heart throbbing narration ...not getting words to describe what felt after reading it

[@BroadwayBabyyy744]

Take your time, if you want to read a long book and it takes a long time its ok you dont have to finish it in a month. The most important thing is to read

[@ThePersonalDevelopmentSchool]

❤

[@mxb9083]

I agree. I made a commitment to read 20 pages of a book/day. Some days I read more, but I always read 20 pages and that seems to be a nice spot for me.

[@moonstudio-1111]

Took three days 😂

[@lyndareilly1983]

Agreed. I read the goldfinch in two parts. One at the start of the year, the other at the end of the year.

[@jeanperry4550]

I agree. Many readers get so involved in reading this book, but try NOT to try to read nonstop. Take a day off, now and then, to fully digest each chapter. Each chapter is so rich that you don’t want to miss anything.

[@Samwise_Gamgee]

A proud Malayali here

[@jenniferattai7867]

Just finished reading after 17 hours plus here in TRINIDAD...still want more❤

[@vperez2965]

I'm ordering it! What an elegant and yet humble man.

[@mattieandsunnieaverhart1795]

People are hating even when talking about reading and a bookclub. They cant let go of their hatred. Thanks Oprah for all you do to encourage us to read books .

[@kanikanewsome6305]

Love is health and vitality💛 honestly when you have those bias races hateful people I can imagine their insides eroding because that's what hate does when you have love and joy omigod you're insides sing a new song

[@rethabilenxumalo9742]

People enjoy hating, sadly...that's their loss.

[@AnnammaJ-i2y]

Congratulations! Dr Abraham Varghese. Thank you Amma for sending me the link.

[@karinlarsen2608]

I'm 20 hours into listening to this 30 hour book. It is a wonderful rendition of loving family, amazing wisecracks and Christianity in India. So glad I found it

[@AMKLAX]

It's hard for me to believe that Oprah, as an apparent avid reader, has never read other books by the same author bc she read one she liked ... until now.

[@vuyokazidlamba900]

I just finished reading this book, I got as a Christmas gift. It took almost two months to finish it. You have to pick up and read this book. Amazing, the Author has a special gift🙏 of writing.

[@fajardonick]

I can't wait to get my hands on this one. Cutting For Stone was incredible!

[@DeniseOles-op5xt]

Cutting for Stone, one of my favorite books! Can't wait to read his new one.

[@abeladamu5524]

Top 3 of Oprah books it must be very very good

[@marih3286]

Wow, I haven't read a book this long since " The Fountainhead" in college. I'm gonna wait until Oprah makes this one into a movie!

[@ThePersonalDevelopmentSchool]

❤

[@recherche4528]

Why wait?

[@recherche4528]

Top 3 books of all time is high praise!

[@beeperez324]

[@michaeljose188]

A truly amazing novel! A multi generational journey through the lives of a cast of Malayalam and British characters in India. The prose is translucent and evocative, the lives, loves, pain, adventures told with delicacy and compassion. It's not really magical realism, but there are touches of magic, like Baby Mol who can tell the future, that heighten the deliciousness of this book. Set in Kerala

[@janetsanderss]

I'm so excited for Oprah to read my book one day :)

[@yoitsahmad]

Thank you! This is great.

Gayle: people have lives...the book is too long. If your "life" doesn't include reading, you're not living!

[@TheMctrav3]

Gayle asks the best questions😊

[@TheMctrav3]

So exited about the podcast. ❤

[@Hello_PE]

I just borrowed the ebook through my library. Looking forward to reading it. I’ve been following Oprah’s book club since she started it. I’ve never heard her talk about a book the way she spoke of this one. And I will also be reading Cutting for Stone.

[@tomyou100]

Awesome work!. A proud Mallu .

[@thundathiljames2174]

Great news. 👍so proud of you!

[@lencilenci7408]

CUTTING FOR STONES .. one of the best books I have ever read .. I hv often ck'd to see a new book from him .. buying this RIGHT NOW!!!!!!

[@isaacscott1063]

Wow I feel the same way! I have been waiting YEARS for him to publish another book since I read Cutting For Stone-one of my FAVORITES!

[@SapphireLyric]

I just got my copy, I can't wait to start it!!!

[@raffishahbaznazarian]

Can't wait until this books is available in Dutch

[@lalivarghese6427]

Glad to hear 🎉🎉

[@hillaryd.t.gillings8567]

Gayle, you really speak for a lot of us at times, that is the same thing I was thinking--that Oprah was thinking who she was going to cast. How about Duvernay the Director? I did not spell her name correctly but you know I am talking. I guess I can help you choose? Lol!

[@vsejejasno7836]

I think these two are soulmates!!! Maybe it's wierd, but like i see them together.

[@mirelapuscau8516]

I read “ Cutting for stone “ . Amazing book ! În this moment I wait to be translated în my country the second book of mister Abraham Verghese 😍

[@sheritarvin8080]

❤Excellent interview ❤

❤

[@adrastos761]

I am reading this book and I am 3/4 thru it. It is a very good book, I am thoroughly enjoying it.

[@ETBeMore]

I would say 'Cutting for Stones' should've been selected. Am Ethiopian and the author had depicted the lives & cultures of Ethiopia that mainstream media doesn't show. Thank you, Abraham Verges! I will definitely read this one, too.

[@ThePersonalDevelopmentSchool]

❤

[@kardon4996]

Thank you ! I will look for it about Ethiopia!!! And this one as well !!! Is Mr Vergehes an Ethiopian???

[@anastasimankesemokgobu1724]

Thank you, I'll check it out

[@deborahgirma]

[@teresalegler2777]

[@rholloway717]

Ms. Oprah will have you reading. The Secret Life of Bees .... a work bookclub selection. It was awesome, too !

[@adrastos761]

I read that book also, an I loved it. Secret life of bees was a great book!

[@61anu]

Beautiful discussion. Congratulations, Abraham.

[@jaytrumpwins5739]

THANK YOU CBS MORNINGS YOU DA BEST

[@Schmagurty]

Just started listening to the audiobook and it's been great thus far. It pulls you in right away.

[@dellacayson9179]

This might just be my summer reading. How, or where could one submit books for your folks to read? I was a single mother looking for a way to make income to not struggle when books started coming to my dreams. I did not know how to write ,coupled with the financial inability to publish. I self published through Amazon and really would like for professionals to provide me with constructive criticism, and directives for future. I would like to get the rest of these books out of my head. Thank you in advance for even reading this.

[@LeonSKennedy7777]

I never had any interest in Oprah’s book club, but I’ll definitely be picking this one up day one! 👏

[@ThePersonalDevelopmentSchool]

[@SapphireLyric]

Her book club is amazing, I've read some of the best books because of it. I just got my copy today and I'm excited to start reading it.

How come the other co-hosts don't have their lovers on as a regular guest?

[@georgevc4204]

How come the name Varghese has become "Verghese " !

[@latha6981]

It's a Malayalam version of George..and all Indian names are spelt phonetically ..i can think of several more ways of spelling it .

[@edinaoconnor5561]

👍

So no one can’t tell Gail those Damm shack shack in her hands are annoying and unprofessional

👍🏾🍷

[@marthaluciagonzalez1945]

Not interested in her any more.

[@TheFever77]

All you need to know is that there is a covenant in Jesus Christ. This book will do nothing for you. Christ’s covenant means you will be saved through the blood that He spilled on the cross, that He died and rose again 3 days later.

[@Haidi533]

After interviewing Harry and hiś wife , I have no respect for this woman, she really showed the truth about what she is able to do for money.

[@pam0626]

Agreed. And to air that interview while Prince Philip was dying a d the Queen sick with cancer, was heartless. It has turned me off Oprah for good.

[@aimeewatson9513]

A distasteful interview is the least of Oprah’s depravity. Anyone who associates with rapists and pedos is sadistic person. She endorsed “John of god”. Tells ya everything

[@terrydougherty5714]

Lost total respect for Oprah and CBS after the horrible Harry & Meghan interview.

[@celestialnubian]

And, yet here you are commenting. 😛

[@sula1529]

Yes sadly she believed the narrative IMO

[@ahmedhabel2334]

helloooooooooooo

[@derricksingleton4736]

Gayle, allow someone else to speak..... 😅

[@oxtailsan9681]

chile Oprah didnt read that book, she takes a fee for promo

[@moonstudio-1111]

I won't be reading any garbage she promotes. It was a miserable book with a very rotten ending.
