I wonder if I can find these pics on here somewhere..hmmm..

DELETED MESSAGE - IN POOR TASTE -

BinnieC, thanks for the kind words but you're embarrassing me a little bit. I don't know why you had to offer that info up about my pics to him. Ugh.


------Back on track------

Mafia Books.

UGH????U DONT EVEN KNOW ME..wtf??

Try to be a gentleman, hoodlum. Your message was in poor taste.

SORRY,Sincerely,hdlm.

This weather is making us all thirsty.

sorry, kid, didn't mean you any discomfort.

Damn Hoodlum, you played yourself. This ain't Plenty Of Fish or any other dating site, lol. Anyway, I'm reading The Brotherhoods now. And its funny, in Al D'Arcos book he refers to his nickname "The Professor" and his implication is, he was given the name because of how smart he was, come to find out, The Brotherhoods reveals the truth, the nickname was a running joke between Casso & Amuso, in direct implication to how dimwitted D'Arco was. Now Im beginning to see why it took him til' his 50's to get his button.

Lol.

Coming in November:

"The Mafia's President: Nixon and the Mob", by Don Fulsom



https://books.google.com/books?id=pYfxnAAACAAJ&source=gbs_book_other_versions

Somewhere I had read or heard about a NEW book which based on new info credits John Gotti with a couple new murders. Wondering what that book could be. Regardless of what we think about Gotti, he does make for interesting reading

Is Ralph Natale's book worth a read ?

Fuck no.

Prince of the City by Robert Daley. Very well written story about a corrupt New York City narcotics detective in the 60s and 70s. His cousin was a soldier in the Colombo family and he was also friends with Sonny Red. Was made into a movie directed by Sidney Lumet.

I guess its been awhile for a good lcn book. My opin in last 3 yrs only really 2 good ones. Little als book mob boss which should have been written 10 yrs ago atleast. Or maybe the family new where he was and he kept silent. Also crazy phils book which is more like a nick scarfo biography. The philly fam has more books then any other family and there smaller then the big 5. Nick the crow book on the philly mob set probaly the bar for mob books. Crazy phil gives you the perspective from atlantic city which is a good reason for his book which also should have been written 10 15 yrs ago. I looking forword to the vinny asoro book about the heist. And all his crazy bonanno family shit afterwards.

Funny shit,Sinatra.Man,I got to get that Caramandi book.I have heard only good stuff about it.I read the other two you mention,pmac and I agree both are very good

Crows book(Blood & Honor) & Five Families by Selwyn Raab r my top 2 faves by far..then Leonetti's..just got Linda Scarpa's book in the mail..didn't start it yet but hopin' I didnt waste my time.

Thanks,Hoodlum.I have read five families as well.Very good book.I have heard different opinions of Scarpa's book.Again,I will be picking up Crow's book this week.

If u can find it,I did..get yourself a copy of THE PLUMBER by Joseph Salerno..the very 1rst book I read about the mob & started my hobby of it back in 1993..a scarfo & co. related novel,pretty nice.

What's the best new Mob autobiography I could read or do you recommend any of the older ones .

Anybody interested in ebooks, PDF, PM me, maybe I could help you out, most likely.

Brotherhoods was available to read for free on american-buddha.com but apparently now it's down

All our differences aside M. have you read brotherhoods?

Yeah, I have. It is very good, covers the Mafia cops, Casso, and a lot of other stuff. It used to be free to read on that website above, but apparently the website is down now.

PM me if you're interested in any other book, I might be able to hook you up.

Good to have you back Malandrino.

Yo Moe, good to see you around. Holler about any ebooks ;P

Anyone read "Marked to die" by M. Brown? Is it worth getting? Thanks.

I'm in the middle of " The Sinatra Club",& I know Polisi's word is questionable, but it seems kinda genuine w/ the xception of him kissin' Gotti's ass..anybody think the guy is an all out bullshitter or does he carry some substance?..thoughts?

I was thinking exactly the same thing, hoodlum. I did like the book but some of the stuff seemed straight fantasy... like J Edgar Hoover before he died calling Gambino and telling him there was a rat in one of his crews... and he was talking about Willie Boy Johnson! Wtf... at the time I'm pretty sure there were other rats, more important ones, like Scarpa, etc.
There's a lot of stuff you can tell Polisi just makes up. He says Sonny Franzese was involved in bank robbing, while Michael swears his dad was NEVER into that.
Looks like the FBI fed him some bullshit info when turning rat and he's put a lot of that bullshit in his book, I think.

I do like the book however, I like the funny parts, where they're just bullshitting around hanging out with each other at the club, and Sal Polisi's personal life seems interesting enough in itself, but by the second half of the book, I was feeling kinda bored... especially towards the end when he testified against John.. that was pure BS, and we all know he was raped on the stand by Cutler and them.
