Bookie of the Month Club

Postby Vince P » Sat Jul 04, 2009 6:26 am

As many of you know cuzin Vinny doesn't read any books except for the Bible, Sports, Porn and marketing love for work, not necessarily in that order. I am basically ignorant when it comes to the outside world, especially politics.

However, I recently finished this 700 page novel called "The Ice Man - Confessions of a MAFIA contract killer" written by Philip Carlo, who's now in Sicily, researching more Mafia stuff.

This book was on the NY Yankees Best Seller list for ages. It's about the #1 serial killer ever in the USA, Richard Kuklinski, who worked for many "families." The reason he was able to work for different families, was because he was Polish, and as you know, unless you're 117% Italian like TonythePony and JB, you cannot be in a "family." So advantage to the IceMan for being able to contract with different families.

A few years ago on HBO there was a 3 part segment of interviews on him.

Anyone else read that book, or heard about this despicable human being, Richard Kuklinski?

What books have you read lately?

I watched the documentary a few years ago Vince. The guy is one sick puppy. I could use him when doing me "collections" though.
