  1. My 2024 in Books
    I read more (23/20) in 2024 than I expected to, but not as much as I did in 2023 (37/20)!

    I liked seeing my "2024 in the books" page on BookWyrm and I can add some more personal notes on it. Of course, I still recommend you switch away from goodreads to a platform built for you and join bookwyrm.

    While my 2023 was mostly occupied by 2 fantastic authors, my 2024 was dominat

  2. Robert Caro Reflects on ‘The Power Broker’ and Its Legacy at 50

    Caro’s book on Robert Moses, a city planner who reshaped New York, is also a reflection on “the dangers of unchecked power,” and remains more resonant and relevant than ever.

  7. ‘The Power Broker’ Is Finally Getting a Digital Edition. What Took So Long?

    Finally! That might actually help me back into this book, I can read so much more on ebooks, reading in bed with a partner is not convenient with a large book

  12. I gotta wonder, what would be the computer science or software architecture equivalent of The Power Broker? What person had an extremely large influence on our digital infrastructure? Where are the books about them?

  17. I worship Caro and have read, in awe, all of his books, and dammit he needs to hurry up and finish the last one, but my god, media, give it a frickin’ REST with the incessant inviting him to Yet Again tell the story of how he wrote THE POWER BROKER. Caro should be chained to his typewriter until he finishes the final LBJ book. Rulez is rulez.

  22. I just finished reading The Power Broker and, man, that was a heck of a book!

    I feel like RM was the epitome of the "brilliant jerk".

    It makes me wonder what things would be like in New York (and elsewhere) if he had built public transit they way he built roads.

    All-in-all, a good book. I'd recommend it.

  27. I’m sad about Robert Gottlieb… did he finish editing Caro’s fifth volume on Johnson? If not I don’t think his soul will settle. I don’t think *my* soul will settle either
