I've tried to read both Warmth of Other Suns and Caste and did not finish either of them. I think it was because it wasn't the right time for either of these books. While I did DNF, neither book is not on my DNF forever. Maybe I'll try again in the coming year. Thanks for your review.
I believe I am going to have to surrender. After listening to all the talk in the group and now reading this, despite me not a big non-fiction person, I think I need to have this and read it slowly and in, like you, small increments. Thanks :-)
One of the people I discovered and follow on Substack writes a great newsletter about books. I think that she is much more aligned with fiction also. Her perspective tends to steer toward non-fiction written in this style like that in Caste. I must admit that having read “The Warmth of Other Suns”. Isabel Wilkerson is excellent. I think a fair analogy is Laura Hillenbrand. I’ve never met anyone who did not enjoy Seabiscuit or Unbroken. Both of them are written in a similar way although Caste is a much more serious subject. I think for me it has more to do with the author.
