|

 |
|
A national search is underway to determine
the UK's top 100 books. The Big Read's winners will be revealed
in a series of programmes to be aired on
the BBC.
|
|
| The Big Read follows on from
the BBC's search last year for the
Greatest Briton, an accolade won by Sir
Winston Churchill.
|
|
|
|
| The top 100 books were announced to
the public in a one-off special programme
on 17 May 2003 but the final order of
the top 20 will not be made public until
the autumn. BBC Two will present a series
of programmes on which celebrities will
champion their choice of book.
|
|
 |
|
| It will
then be up to the public to vote again
and decide which of the top 100 is their
number one favourite book. |
