well i just finished the thick ass book. I twas worth the time i put in it to read , it took me a really long time since i can only read afew pages a night before i fall asleep or make myself put it down.I do recomend anyone intrested in This Thing Of Ours to read this.I learned alot from it and might even be able to retain some of it.The one thing i hate is the good books are always about Rats but go figure who else would tell all.so i am on the hunt for a new book been thinking of Gotti the rise and fall, but i aopen for others please let me know if you have any good ideas. it needs to be real.

The Last Gangster by George Anastasia is a really good and fascinating read. There's Wiseguy by Nicholas Pileggi, The Way of the Wise Guy by Joseph Pistone, a.k.a. Donnie Brasco, Gangsters and Goodfellas by Henry Hill and Gus Russo, which is the sequel to Wiseguy. American Mafia by Thomas Repetto is good if you wanna get a quick lesson in the history of the Mafia in one book. It deals from the lynchings in New Orleans in the 1800s all the way to the golden age of the mob. All fascinating, all worth reading. Or you could just sit down and have a conversation with Turnbull, it's your call.

Gotti Rise and Fall is a good one.

Also UNDERBOSS by Gravano is a good one too!
