## Caption

To celebrate the May 22 premiere of the Great American Read PBS, we've asked our staff to reveal their favorite books.

Rob Hoff, host of #JazzFlight on WQLN Radio chose Gravity's Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon - a book selected by the Pulitzer Prize jury on fiction for the 1974 Pulitzer Prize. Unfortunately the Pulitzer Advisory Board was offended by its content, described as "unreadable" and in parts "obscene." No Pulitzer Prize was awarded for fiction that year.

You can check this book out at the Erie County Public Library, a sponsor of the Great American Read!

The list of 100 books will be revealed on Friday and voting will begin to determine the great American read! Stay tuned!
