The Big
Read is the country’s biggest ever celebration of the magic of reading.
We're searching for Britain’s best-loved fiction across television,
radio, online and interactive services, kicking off with a BBC2 TV
show when celebrities present their favourite reads on 5 April.
We will then be inviting the nation to vote for their best-loved book
on the website
or by phone leading to an announcement of the Top 100 books later
in the month.
Over the spring and summer, readers are encouraged to read and talk
about their favourites.
Later in the year the Top 10 will be released and voting for no.1
will commence!
So, whether your own Big Read choice is an old favourite or a modern
classic, share your love of reading and get involved. |
