Deal with the Devil about Scarpa? In the Godfather's Garden about Richie the Boot? You probably have read Wiseguy which Goodfellas is based on or the original Donnie Brasco, I'm guessing.
-I shot him a coupla' times. -What's a couple? -Hmm, more than a couple... Really I don't know the exact amount, maybe I shot him 10 times, 12 times? -Maybe fifteen? -Hmm, it could've been fifteen...

Wiseguy is still worth a read regardless... it's the little details that make it so engaging. True that most of it is portrayed in Goodfellas but I enjoyed it nonetheless.
6th family is like 10$ on amazon, no idea where you got 40$ from... maybe it varies from place to place.
The Scarpa book has a little too much FBI stuff, imo... I'm barely halfway and I'll continue it some other time, those documents get a little boring.

Good mafia book I haven't read yet? I know thus isn't the tight space on the forum but I'm heading to the bookstore in like an hour! I have read murder machine, underboss, brutal, blood and honor, black mass and a couple other Boston books. Is "I heard you paint houses" worth the read? What about the al d arco one? Anything on Canada? "I heard you paint houses" is a great read. another good read is "the quite don" a story about Russell buffalino. and the best one is "five families" by Selwyn raab. another is "joey" a story of joey gallo, the authors name is goddard. [can't think of his first name.] great read.

Joe Bonanno always seemed like such a jerk off to me, I probably have slept on his book, maybe I should give it a shot. He allways struck me as like a regal version of Feech from the Sopranos, the type of guy that would really enjoy the smell of one of his farts, but I digress...I'm like 50 pages into Vinny Gorgeous, which is great!
Haha he was without a doubt a jerk off. And he is absolutely convinced that he's not. Still I think it's one of those books that you can't pass by if you "study" the subject.
