1. Capo
2. Gangster

I own Capo and but I haven't read it because I'm dealing with an excellent novel about Charles Arthur "Pretty Boy" Floyd by Larry McMurtry(one of my favorite authors)

Capo is about the 19th century Mafia in Sicily and then in New Orleans with a character called Sylvio who rises from Soldato(Soldier) to Capo(not the captain we now, but the Don)
What do you think of it and Gangster?

well i havnt even heard of either but was immediately interested in readin capo due to my fascination with the old sicilian mafia. who is this book by?

I think I may have read Gangster, is the author Lorenzo Carcaterra? cause if it's that guy, Ive read it. And its a very good book. Do any of you guys know of any good Pablo Escobar books?

sorry palentino, not heard of the guy! i must broaden my knowledge of modern literature though! ive been readin nothin but tom clancy and john le carré recently. i put godfather on my xmas list though.

sum 1 answered my query yesterday on recommendations for mafia books with The Sicilian. hav u read this? if so do u recommend it? i love the old sicilian mafia more than the american one, and think i'd like this book.

Yes Carcaterra is the writer.

And is funny you mention Pablo Escobar. My pop read his biography and he said that it was one of the best and more detailed. I dunno if it is translated but I will inform you.

Capo de la Cosa Nostra,

The Sicilian is one of my fav books. It tells the story of Turi Giuliano the bandit of Sicily who fought the Mafia dn the powerfuls. Michael Corleone and Peter Clemenza made a cameo appearence.

Capo was wrote by Peter Watson.

Giorgio Luigi Gambino.

okay well thanks im definitely buyin that book then (when i get the chance!) ive never read a mafia book before but hav always wanted to. thatll soon change.
