[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Caste. I read it for my work book club (on diversity committee). I’m a white middle aged woman. It’s very readable, and I cannot un-see the American caste system now.[/quote]

Good to know that Caste is very readable. I have it in my pile, but, for some reason, I wanted to read The Warmth of Other Suns first.  Maybe I’ll start with Caste instead.

PP, did your book group read any other books that you would recommend?  And/or would NOT recommend?[/quote]

My book club has been active for about 3 years now. We all loved Caste.

The books we've really enjoyed and facilitated good discussions:
The Great Believers by Rebecca Makkai
The Sun Does Shine by Anthony Ray Hinton
The Scent Keeper by Erica Bauermeister
How to Be an Anti-racist by Ibram X. Kendi
Count the Ways by Joyce Maynard

Books we did not enjoy:
The Gifted School by Bruce Holsinger
The Yellow House by Sarah Broom 
God Spare the Girls by Kelsey McKinney[/quote]

Thanks for the recommendations — and the lists! Caste just got moved to the top of my non-fiction pile, and I think I’ll try something by Bauermeister soon.
