I’m hosting July’s IWBC and the timing is perfect since I split my reading year into to halves, which means I’m starting with an empty shelf in July. The book I picked is “To Have or to Be” by Erich Fromm.

I read this book now more than 20 years ago, and I remember having a great impact on young me. And so I started wondering what current me would think of it. And the IWBC is a good excuse to pick it up a second time.

If you decide to read it and post a review on your blog, make sure to send me a link and I'll be more than happy to link it here on the blog.

At June’s PRINT Book Club, The Art of Saving Democracy revealed itself as something far more interactive than a traditional book. Packaged as an “action kit” filled with posters, postcards, stickers, conversation prompts, and original works that invites readers to participate in democracy rather than simply read about it.
