The Great American Read is an eight-part story that explores and celebrates the power of reading, told through the prism of America’s 100 best-loved novels (as chosen in a national survey). It investigates how and why writers create their fictional worlds, how we as readers are affected by these stories, and what these 100 different books have to say about our diverse nation and our shared human experience. The series is the centerpiece of an ambitious multi-platform digital, educational and community outreach campaign, designed to get the country reading and passionately talking about books. The series will air on PBS this fall on Tuesdays beginning September 11 through October 23, hosted by Meredith Viera, and will culminate with the results of the first-ever national vote for “America’s Best-Loved Novel”.
