 Maqsadi 
BBC Internet, SMS va telefon orqali tomoshabinlar tomonidan ovoz qabul qilish yoʻli orqali „Xalqning eng sevimli romani“ni aniqlash maqsadida The Big Read soʻrovnomasini boshladi. Mazkur soʻrovnoma adabiyotga goʻyoki sensatsion yondashuvni qoʻllagani uchun bahs-munozaralarga sabab boʻldi, biroq qoʻllab-quvvatlovchilar uni mutolaa boʻyicha jamoatchilik xabardorligini oshirayotganligi uchun maqtashdi. Britaniya jamoatchiligi dastlab oʻzlari xohlagan romanga ovoz berishdi.Book awards: BBC’s Big Read — LibraryThing Retrieved 28 November 2010 Shundan 200 tasining roʻyxati tuzilib, birinchi oʻrinda bitta muallifga faqat bitta kitobga ruxsat berilishi sharti bilan eng yuqori 21 tasi keyingi ovoz berish uchun qoʻyildi. Soʻrovnoma romanlarga asoslanganligi sababli, William Shakespearening pyesalari soʻrovda qatnashmadi.
