One Book is a partnership between Read To Succeed, Linebaugh Library, and other Middle Tennessee non-profits and businesses to promote reading and unity in Rutherford County. Each year, the Read To Succeed One Book Committee reads dozens of books, narrows it down to one, and shares the book throughout the community.
2024 One Book
The Last White Man by Mohsin Hamid.
“Concise, powerful. . . . Hamid imaginatively takes on timely, universal topics, including identity, grief, community, family, race, and what it means to live through sudden and often violent change.” —Booklist
Starting in January, copies of the 2024 One Book can be found at “Book Crossing” locations, marked by one of the Read To Succeed red boxes. Books may also be borrowed from Simply Pure Sweets, Technology Engagement Center, Bradley Academy Museum, and all Rutherford County Library System Branches.
In each book, you will find a sticker on the inside cover with information about how to log on to the One Book Facebook Page and share your comments after reading. You can then share the book with friends, return it to any of the above locations, or drop it off at Read To Succeed.
Our One Book Committee chose The Last White Man by Mohsin Hamid as the One Book for 2024. If you have read it, please, leave us a review below!
