Clawdette October 23, 2018 Share October 23, 2018 Diana was on last week, too, and Outlander was discussed. For those of you who have not watched, each week the books are grouped in categories. The Outlander series was included with the fantasy/science fiction books if I remember correctly. Diana talked a little and then a few readers told why they loved Outlander and urged folks to vote for it as the favorite American read. (That’s the format used for all featured books.) Tomorrow night is the big reveal. The 100 book list is quite diverse, ranging from Gulliver’s Travels to Twilight. I have no guess which book got the most votes.

toolazy October 24, 2018 Share October 24, 2018 I love the Outlander books, I really do, but I think coming in second is ridiculous.

Nidratime October 24, 2018 Share October 24, 2018 Well, the ranking isn't about what are the greatest American novels -- leaving aside the fact that there were a number of novels in the competition that weren't American at all -- but what were the most popular novels at this particular time of those people who watch PBS or heard about the competition. Additionally, there was a pre-selection process to come up with the one hundred and then a particular time when this whole thing occurred which probably influenced the outcomes. For instance, I'm betting Outlander wouldn't have done so well if the TV show hadn't been airing over the past few years, raising its profile. (In the height of the Harry Potter hysteria, maybe that series would've made it to second place or even first.) Furthermore, it was a PBS effort which means that a lot of people, who don't bother watching public television wouldn't know about it or care.

The thing I find most interesting is that it quotes Sam as saying he is 6'3" tall. That's what IMBb said back when the show first launched. Then, with no explanation, a couple of years ago someone changed Sam's height to 6' 2 1/2" in IMDb. I pointed it out when it happened and thought it was odd.
