PBS The Great American Read

PBS had a series of shows on for the last few weeks going through their pick of 100 books called "The Great American Read". Everyone was encouraged to vote on which book was their favourite out of the 100. Each week they previewed a few of the books on their show.

Watching the show each week, not only got me excited about being a reader, but also got me thinking that I need to read more, and gave me a few ideas of new books to try. Out of the 100 books chosen, the winner was announced today...

I'm not surprised by the first choice, but was surprised by the second choice - The Outlander Series by Diana Gabaldon. I haven't read the Outlander series, but know that she has a huge following. Just one of the many suggestions of the 100 that I might try to read.
For more information check out www.pbs.org - the shows can be watched online until November 20th.
