Oprah has chosen "The Measure of a Man", a spiritual autobiography by Sidney Poitier for her Book Club today. A memoir by Sidney, this book talks about his childhood in Bahamas and how hailing from a poor family he made it big to the Hollywood. He became the first African-American actor to win an Academy Award® for Best Actor. I haven't read many autobiographies, but I think this might be worth looking at. I can't wait for a copy from my local library!Friday, January 26, 2007
