I saw part of an advertisement for this last night and saw Harry Potter as one of the books they were featuring. Then I look at the list this morning and see The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy on it and others that are most definitely NOT American novels.
It's called the "Great American Read". The list page I linked below refers to "America's 100 most-loved books" rather than "American novels".

I heard of this a while back, looked at the list, saw it included 50 Shades of Grey and haven't followed it further.
