{{Useful Notes}}{{DISPLAYTITLE:''The Great American Read''}}
[[Public Broadcasting Service]] television ran a miniseries called '''''The Great American Read''''' during 2018, in which [[Viewers Like You]] were invited to vote for their favorite works of [[literature]]. On October 23, 2018, they announced that these were the works that were voted the 100 best-loved books or book series in the USA.<ref>As reported by [https://www.cbc.ca/books/harper-lee-s-to-kill-a-mockingbird-tops-list-of-100-of-america-s-best-loved-novels-1.4876114 CBC Books].</ref>
Note that these are best-loved works, not seminal or most influential. They're also works beloved by readers in the USA, not necessarily works written in the USA.
