Julie Kim Kim من عند نيويورك من عند نيويورك

A classic!

I gave this book away after not even finishing the first section, New York, despite my best intentions (over the course of months). I really do prefer non-fiction but I got turned off by the fact that EVERYTHING was about NYC before I realized that the book was divided into three sections, New York, Detroit, and Atlanta (I think?). I really struggled with it, but it was just too long and complicated, too many names dropped all over the place who I couldn't remember for long enough to finish learning what they'd accomplished. It was too heavy to carry on the subway every day, especially for how captivating it wasn't. Dry/somewhat textbooky. Probably better used as a reference.
