You can see books in a list compiled by Oprah Winfrey

On the shelves near her bed, Oprah has placed first editions of Pulitzer Prize winners, including 1948's Tales of the South Pacific, by James A. Michener, and The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, by Junot Diaz, and To Kill a Mockingbird, which Oprah describes as her favorite novel of all time.
When does one of the world's busiest people find the time to read? Her answer is surprising: "I don't watch television. I can entertain myself with people in books.
Because she is given so many books, Oprah occasionally needs to do some weeding. But then she has to face what to do with her castoffs. "I can't throw books out. I can give them away. I box them up and send them to hospitals and women's prisons, but I can't put them in the trash," she says. "I've tried, and even gone back to get them out of the trash. It's disrespectful." It doesn't matter whether the book is good or bad: For Oprah, what's significant is the effort someone put into writing it.
"Throwing a book in the trash," she says, "is like throwing away a person."

“If you cannot read all your books…fondle them — peer into them, let them fall open where they will, read from the first sentence that arrests the eye, set them back on the shelves with your own hands, arrange them on your own plan so that you at least know where they are. Let them be your friends.”
