Big fan of Waukegan and Gurnee Mills here. Who would win in a fight between God and Ditka? Welcome? :devillook

It's in their sphere of influence, no one cares about the Sudetenland. They just want some "Lebensraum" If we negotiate, we can have peace. Just trust Neville.......er....uh....wait....what are we talking about?

Glad to have you!, what do you enjoy reading?

Gentle?, we are warm and fuzzy fur balls here. Post early and post often my friend. :devillook

I have an old copy of that book and read it a few years ago. I do remember it for some of the stories. In Last, there are a few passages about Massino being on to Pistone and wanting him rubbed out. The guy had a knack for knowing "bad" cars and "bad" people. Of course, the word "bad"...

My interest in this book arose from Jimmy Breslin's book that I reviewed previously. In more than a few instances, I've read of the "last godfather" and became very curious. Joey Massino started out in the delivery truck business, the bad side of it. The book has the usual familiar stories...

55 degrees here. 140 degrees when Scarlet Johansson is on t.v. What is the worst book that you've read in the last five months?

New religion vs. New Atheism. . . . . . .new atheism on the ropes?

"I'm o.k., you're o.k."-a definite classic "Love and will" by Rollo May Good philosophy read-"Being and Nothingness" by Sartre

Thanks for the encouragement Forest, but I'm a realist at heart. It would be kind if cool if we did NaNoWriMo on the forum!:devillook

:)Enjoy! Hope you find your niche here.

Can't get more bizarre than this forum. Welcome!:)

90% story, 10% cover. I like to think the opposite doesn't happen.

Just discovered season 2 of the American series. I know have to go back and see the U.K. version, as well as read the book. I love politics, so this will definitely be a good t.v. interest for me. Any other fans?

Nothing like a good bare knuckles politician waxing eloquent on the workings of bureaucracy and all things government.
