Hi,

I finished all Mario Puzo's Mafia books(The Godfather, The Sicilian, the Last Don and Omerta) i also finished a wonderful novel called "Capo"

I am hungry for more books. i had these so far on my list:

1.Donnie Brasco.
2.Wiseguy
3.Gangster.
4.Murder Machine.

Are these good choices. Can you suggest me more?

Thanks,
Giorgio Luigi Gambino.

Oh yeah I forgot the Valachi papers! Thanks Oogie.

Anthony-

I already read The Family. One of the best I had read! But it isn't Mafia book. Thanks.

I recommend "Little Man - Meyer Lansky and the Gangster Life"; "The Black Book and the Mob," and "Boss of Bosses," in addition to those you've read and those recommended by other paisani. You will find a similar thread, with more recommendations, here:

Here are the mob books I have read: non fiction
1. Accardo: The Genuine Godfather
2. War of the Godfathers
3. Gangbusters (very good!)

Fiction:
1. Everybody Pays, so far its pretty good

and of course all of Puzo's mafia trilogy.
