Good isn't it?
No worries, I'll have a think if there's any others I've read.

I can whole-heartedly recommend Cosa Nostra by John Dickie. I understand he has since penned an authoritative book on the 'ndrangheta but I have yet to pick it up. Mario Puzo's The Godfather] remains the seminal fictional work and it is a book far more intelligently composed than the nonetheless remarkably good film.

It's fiction but I would recommend Gangsters by Lorenzo Carcatera.  Fantastic book.

Got myself this due to this thread.

Boss of Bosses the book about Paul Castellano is excellent and Selwyn Raab's Five Families is a must have.
