lets all read the same book

Reading programs are hot again! "Tuesday at Carnegie Hall, the National Endowment for the Arts will announce a competition for grants, up to $20,000 each, to be awarded to 100 communities that select a novel and encourage everyone to read and discuss it."
The one community, one book movement has been catching on in cities across the country, but the Big Read program expands on this movement, giving communities the monetary incentive to start the program and making it easy to choose from a pre-selected list of novels.
