‘The Great American Read’ Premieres in PBS in May

Maybe it's a book like Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility, where you fell in love with her ability to create witty banter; or maybe, that book is something of a shocking, gripping tale, full of anger that draws you back in like Richard Wright's Native Son. Either way, books play a fair part…
