Water for Elephants in New York Times
Coincidentally, just as we are introducing Water for Elephants as our August book club selection, the New York Times has an article about the book's enduring popularity. According to the article, "Despite the presence of not one but two Oprah Winfrey selections in bookstores, it is a sleeper hit from last year that has muscled its way to being a big paperback read this summer."
