Great American Read

Hosted by Meredith Vieira, The Great American Read, is a multi-platform initiative that’s designed to spark a national conversation about reading, literacy and the books that have inspired us. Series returns September 11th, to help discover America's favorite book!

The Great American Read is in full swing. Since it's premiere in May, PBS has received over 1,000,000 votes. NWPB is doing its role to get the word out there. We have a dedicated page on our website, nwpb.org/GAR, where you can: watch the premiere episode, vote for your favorite book and look over the list to discover new books you can read over the summer. Join us in helping to favorite America's favorite book. You can vote once a day, so vote often and early.

PBS has unveiled a list of America’s 100 best-loved novels, chosen in support of THE GREAT AMERICAN READ. NWPB is teaming up with PBS stations across the nation to help whittle the list down and figure out what the greatest book of all time is. We need your help.
