When it comes to books, there’s no harm in playing favorites, right? We all have a list of books that loom large in our hearts, but can one book be America’s favorite? That’s exactly what PBS aims to find out with The Great American Read!


Premiering on PBS 6 Tuesday, May 22, The Great American Read wants you to join the conversation and vote on which books made your world brighter – and deserve to hold the title of America’s Favorite Book.
