Big Read (German)

The Big Read initiative was launched in Germany in 2004, under the name Das große Lesen (literal translation), where a list of 200 items was pre-selected by a committee of professionals from which to choose. It is based on the BBC version of Big Read.

The results were voted by 250,000 people.[1][2]
