Books. For the literati among us.

Just finished a re-read of the Power Broker, and toward the end there is a section on Robert Moses’ management of the NY World’s fair. Here are a couple of excerpts describing the site in Queens and Moses’ plans.

dang, you're ambitious - not just for reading it once, but for re-reading - it's been many years since my first run through

There is a podcast that did one episode a month - 100 pages each - over the course of a year. 99% Invisible. Breaking it up is a good way to reread, and it was fun to listen to the recaps. It also nicely filled some times when I didn't have a book going and was waiting for one to come available at the library. I could pick up the Power Broker for a couple of chapters and then start a new book once I received it.

Ah smart! And thanks for the recommendation for the podcast.
