I am currently ~400 pages into the Power Broker. I was motivated to pick it up again by a "read along" with Roman Mars from the 99% Invisible podcast. He's spacing out the book over the course of a year and interviewing fellow Caro fans and recapping major portions of the book. Never been a better time to tackle the beast! I am not sure I'll ever read a better biography in my life. At least, not until I read the Lyndon Johnson books.
The 99% Invisible podcast is doing a book club on The Power Broker that is absolutely delightful, even (and maybe especially?) if you haven't read the book.

You may find The Power Broker (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Power_Broker) by him interesting as well :)

Another vote for The Power Broker. A fascinating, if daunting, book.
all of Caros books are life changing, if you can get through them!
