THE
GREAT AMERICAN READ is an eight-part series 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 television series features entertaining and informative documentary segments, with compelling testimonials from celebrities, authors, notable Americans and book lovers across the country. It is comprised of a two-hour launch episode in which the list of 100 books is revealed, five one-hour theme episodes that examine concepts common to groups of books on the list, and a finale, in which the results are announced of a nationwide vote to choose America’s best-loved book.
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.
