For those like me who haven't been able to bring themselves to crack The Power Broker, I recommend the 99% Invisible podcast series on the book. It's meant to be a book club for readers, but I just cheated and listened to the podcast! First episode includes an interview w/ Caro, which is worth a listen regardless of whether you continue the series.

Yep I heard about this - absolutely going to listen once I’ve finished it. Thanks for the share!

Stoner is the greatest eh?

Absolutely. I need to read Butcher’s Crossing again!

Have you read Augustus? Also amazing

Yes but a long time ago. At the time I wasn’t as impressed as with the other two, but I suspect another reading might change that.

The Passenger was a fight for me but worth it in the end! Very non-linear

I read Stella Maris three times in quick succession and will probably go back to it soon. It has some kind of hold on me!

I don’t know these two, will take a look!
