The Outfit by Gus Russo

Real good read if your into mafia books.
It gives an in depth look at how the gangsters of chicago back in the 20's and 30's became so powerful. It goes WAY beyond Capone

I wish I had time to read...I only have time to read my school text books. That's enough reading on it's own.

I read The Mosquito Coast back in the 1980's. I can't even remember if I enjoyed it or not.

Electric Kool Aid Acid Test was excellent. A relatively clear window into the 1960's. Those damn Merry Pranksters! Tom Wolfe is a fantastic writer.

Bukowski is cool as hell.
the movie where Mickey Rourke played him was way better than the Matt Dillon one.
He's so cool Modest Mouse wrote a song named after him.

Does that have chapters on the Tulip Craze, The South Sea Bubble, and Witch-hunting? I have that book. Fun!

The Grand Design- John Marco.

Yeah, I'm fanning my chest and calling for smelling salts just like Aunt Pittypat.

It's very impressive so far. And to think it was Margaret Mitchell's only novel published during her lifetime.

It's a classic.

So many authors have only one great book in them. Charles Frazer's Cold Mountain was followed by a piece of dreck which traumatized me so badly reading it I have blocked out the title. Heartbreaking after the promise of his first book.

that is indeed the same book.
it was one of a few books I picked up that was in the bibliography of Ron Paul's book.

Bukowski is cool as hell.

I am almost done this. He writes short books. Any good suggestions for my next read?
