Books: Oprah Presents "Master Class"

At the top of the new year, Oprah Winfrey's OWN Network will be showcasing the "Master Class." It's a series featuring Maya Angelou, Simon Cowell, Jay-Z, Lorne Michaels, Condeoleeza Rice, Diane Sawyer and Winfrey.  Handpicked by the mogul, the "Master Class" will showcase their lives that has lead them to the spotlight that they bask in today.

According to Winfrey, "Master Class started with Sidney Poitier and Maya Angelou, both of whom I've spent hours on the phone with over the years, just listening and taking notes. More than any other people on the planet, Maya and Sidney are my teachers. I wanted to share the life stories of these two wise thought leaders—and many others I admire—because I believe any life well lived can inspire our own."

I've had the luxury of getting my hands on this book, and from what I've read so far,  it displays very touching and interesting inside stories of the people we only see as media figures.  This book strips away the layers of diamond chains, black t-shirts, make-up and button-up tops, and show us real people--it shows us, us.
