Vote for The Great American Read

The Great American Read, an eight-part television series hosted by Meredith Viera premiered on PBS in May, offering details about America's 100 best-loved novels. If you missed it, you can stream the two-hour special online.


Vote for Your Favorite Book

Over the summer, viewers can vote online at PBS.org and through hashtag voting via Facebook and Twitter. Leading up to the finale in October, viewers will also be able to cast their votes by using SMS and toll-free voting. Instructions for voting are provided on PBS.org.
