Big Read


 
 

The Big Read was a 2003 survey carried out by the BBC, with the goal of finding the "Nation's Best-loved Book" by way of a viewer vote via the Web, SMS and telephone. The show attracted controversy for adopting an allegedly sensationalist approach to literature and for being vulnerable to vote-padding - for example, the top 200 entries include 10 novels by comic fantasy author Terry Pratchett - but supporters praised it for raising the public awareness of reading.
