Check out the entire list here. Entries of note: talk show host and book club maven Oprah Winfrey, legal-thriller novelist Scott Turow, and "Middlesex" author Jeffrey Eugenides.
I was particularly thrilled to see a library representative at No. 4:
Chicago Public Library Commissioner Mary Dempsey is the unstoppable driving force behind keeping our civic literary resources alive. Dempsey has kept "One Book, One Chicago" running strong, this year putting the vintage Western "The Ox-Bow Incident" into the hands of a city of readers. But she's not just perpetuating past treasures: A free wireless network was unveiled in the city's libraries last winter, allowing residents access to all of the city's digital resources.
