Robert Caro

Any fans of Robert Caro here? The Power Broker is one of the most remarkable biographies I've read. I haven't taken the full plunge into his LBJ series, only read Master of the Senate (#3) years ago. I did also see the documentary about him and his publisher, and have a copy but have not yet read his memoir Working. He's about 90 now and I really hope he's able to finish the fifth volume!

Has anyone gotten through the whole LBJ series? How long did it take you to read?

I listened to the books on audible. Made me have a whole new understanding of people. Definitely worth reading or listening to the entire series.

I've been listening to a podcast series about The Power Broker. It is an occasional episode that is part of the 99% Invisible podcast. It's a deep dive going by chapter, and has notable guests on to talk about the book and its impact.
