Oprah gets Harper Lee to write again

Only literary goddess Oprah could persuade Harper Lee to put pen to paper again; the reclusive, 80-year-old author of To Kill a Mockingbird will write a squib for O magazine on how she became a reader as a child. Don’t be surprised if, in a future issue, Oprah squeezes a piece out of J.D. Salinger, even if it’s only a letter to the editor saying how much he enjoyed the July issue’s article on how men really feel about breast implants. Then watch as Winfrey gets Thomas Pynchon to appear on a future Book Club episode, albeit disguised in Groucho glasses.

Harper Lee is writing for O!!!? This is probably one of Oprah’s most impressive achievements. I swear, that woman could rule the free world if she wanted to (some might say she already does).

Oprah, wisest of the wise, if you are reading this, please get some Haruki Murakami articles in your ‘zine. He’s an awesome reclusive writer, and it’d be the shizzle dizzle to get some cool short story in next month’s issue.
Also, if you would, please bear my children and marry my trashy azz so I can become buddies with Kevin Federline. ¿¡Pretty Please?!?
