BBC Big Read

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

BBC Big Read is a list of British favorite books created in 2003 by the British broadcaster BBC . 750,000 people took part in the vote.

The BBC urged viewers to vote for the "forever-dearest" book. The 21 most cited works were edited as short versions and broadcast by the BBC in a specially created literary program from October 18 to December 13, 2003.

The BBC then encouraged people to form “Big Read” book groups, to discuss the books in sequence and to make the Big Read books better known.
