Ok. I am fucking hyped about this movie.
Each aspect of the soul has it's own part to play, but the ideal is harmonious agreement with reason and control.

Honestly 80% of the stuff I read is true crime. I think you mentioned Pelecanos before, I'm actually just getting into his stuff... in the
Pelecanos/Lehane noir vein, Elmore Leonard is good, several of his books have been made movies too 'Rum Punch' is Jackie Brown and the Get Shorty
stuff is his. He has a HUGE catalogue. James Ellroy is another I've heard highly recommended (LA Confidential) as well as James Lee Burke.
If your'e into true crime, Nicholas Pileggi-Wiseguy (Goodfellas) or Casino, Pistone-Donnie Brasco, William Queen-Under and Alone (which is actually
being made a movie with Mel Gibson??????) are all Stellar reads. Some decent ones I've read recently Kevin Weeks-Brutal and Patrick Nee-A criminal and
an Irishman...kinda like crime for dummies tell-alls that are riding the current Boston Southie craze.
I'm really just getting into fiction again after years and years of countless true crime/mafia tell all type books.

Another good one I just read is "Culotta", it's a tell all type book on the Chicago/Vegas connection from a Chicago guy who was part of Anthony
Spilotro's crew (Frank Vincent to Joe Pesci in Casino). Really good book. One of the murders re-enacted in Casino was filmed with Colotta doing his
own hit. I guess Scorsese had Culotta, along with Lefty Rosenthal (DeNiro) as advisors on Casino and was having Culotta show him how the hit went down
and ended up just having him do it on film (the one where the guy gets chased through the house near the end). Thats a showbiz first haha.
