Download or read book Wiseguy written by Nicholas Pileggi and published by Simon & Schuster. This book was released on 2019-04-16 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nicholas Pileggi’s vivid, unvarnished, journalistic chronicle of the life of Henry Hill—the working-class Brooklyn kid who knew from age twelve that “to be a wiseguy was to own the world,” who grew up to live the highs and lows of the mafia gangster’s life—has been hailed as “the best book ever written on organized crime” (Cosmopolitan). This is the true-crime bestseller that was the basis for Martin Scorsese’s film masterpiece GoodFellas, which brought to life the violence, the excess, the families, the wives and girlfriends, the drugs, the payoffs, the paybacks, the jail time, and the Feds…with Henry Hill’s crackling narration drawn straight out of Wiseguy and overseeing all the unforgettable action. “Nonstop...absolutely engrossing” (The New York Times Book Review). Read it and experience the secret life inside the mob—from one who’s lived it.

Book Synopsis The Truth Will Set You Free, But First It Will Piss You Off! by : Gloria Steinem
Download or read book The Truth Will Set You Free, But First It Will Piss You Off! written by Gloria Steinem and published by Random House. This book was released on 2019-10-29 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A beautifully illustrated collection of Gloria Steinem’s most inspirational and outrageous quotes, with an introduction and essays by the feminist activist herself “A fearless book full of passion, resolute perspective, and unbiased hope for the future.”—Janelle Monáe For decades—and especially now, in these times of crisis—people around the world have found guidance, humor, and unity in Gloria Steinem’s gift for creating quotes that offer hope and inspire action. From her early days as a journalist and feminist activist, Steinem’s words have helped generations to empower themselves and work together. Covering topics from relationships (“Many are looking for the right person. Too few are trying to be the right person.”) to the patriarchy (“Men are liked better when they win. Women are liked better when they lose. This is how the patriarchy is enforced every day.”) and activism (“Revolutions, like trees, grow from the bottom up.”), this is the definitive collection of Steinem’s words on what matters most. Steinem sees quotes as “the poetry of everyday life,” so she also has included a few favorites from friends, including bell hooks, Flo Kennedy, and Michelle Obama, in this book that will make you want to laugh, march, and create some quotes of your own. In fact, at the end of the book, there’s a special space for readers to add their own quotes and others they’ve found inspiring. The Truth Will Set You Free, But First It Will Piss You Off! is both timeless and timely. It is a gift of hope from Steinem to readers, and a book to share with friends.

Book Synopsis A Portrait of the Piss Artist as a Young Man by : Tadhg Hickey
Download or read book A Portrait of the Piss Artist as a Young Man written by Tadhg Hickey and published by Bonnier Books UK. This book was released on 2023-09-07 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was love at first taste for fifteen-year-old Tadhg Hickey when he drank a can of Scrumpy Jack on the night of his exam results. Straight away it provided a cure for that constant feeling of 'something wrong, something not quite right', a way of numbing anxiety and childhood trauma. He realised he was extraordinarily good at drinking and energetically threw himself into a life of pubs, parties and staying pissed, while also managing to become a comedian. But alcohol had the last laugh ... A Portrait of the Piss Artist as a Young Man shows us the often-hilarious lengths of self-deception an alcoholic will go to, the horrific consequences of addiction and the redemptive process of recovering from this deadly but ultimately treatable illness, and remaining sober. A deeply touching memoir and with a side of self-help, Tadhg's easy-going writing style belies his serious message - that each of us has the power to change our lives.

Book Synopsis Hanif Kureishi by : Ruvani Ranasinha
Download or read book Hanif Kureishi written by Ruvani Ranasinha and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2023-08-29 with total page 606 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Original, bold and always funny, Hanif Kureishi is one of Britain’s most popular, provocative and versatile writers. Born in Bromley in 1954 to an Indian father and white British mother, Kureishi’s life is intimately bound up with the history of immigration and social change in Britain. This is the story of how a mixed-raced child of empire who attended the local comprehensive school found success with a remarkable series of novels and screenplays, including My Beautiful Laundrette and The Buddha of Suburbia, Intimacy, Venus and Le Week-End. The book also illuminates a larger story, not only of the artist as a young man, but of the recasting of Britain in the aftermath of decolonisation. Drawing on journals, letters and manuscripts from Kureishi’s unexplored archive, recently acquired by the British Library, and informed by interviews with his family, friends and collaborators, as well with the writer himself, Ruvani Ranasinha sheds new light on how his life animates his work. This first biography offers a vivid portrait of a major talent who has inspired a new generation of writers.
Book Synopsis But God Gave Me Common Sense by : Cathy Jackson Carr
Download or read book But God Gave Me Common Sense written by Cathy Jackson Carr and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-05-31 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I learned about God as a little girl. I've always believed in a higher power, not having evidence of anything else, I accepted there is a God. Believing mad me fear being struck by lightning or bad things happening if I did them. Living a life full of hate, deception, greed, gossip, thieving or trying to intimidate just won't on my list of things to do. The world has told people they are supposed to abuse and mistreat people when given the opportunity. I was always fighting as a child. I'd fight anybody I felt was mistreating me. That meant a lot of fights. I knew once I got to where I wanted to be in life, I would never have to argue or fight anybody again. I also knew my life would be what I made it. I knew if I didn't surround myself with jealousy, envy and hate. These things would not have a place in my life. The abuse of people starts with the young. When people are abused from the very young then it's what they learn, it's all they know and it's how they think things are supposed to be. The abuse trickles into every aspect of their lives. With the number of people coming forward today with claims of abuse. We should all determine it to be the cause of this vicious cycle we all revolve in. It is this vicious cycle that will make me appear to be repeating myself but as you'll soon see, everything ties together. One thing is a cause or an effect of another Can I be the only person to refuse to become a victim of this system of things? Can I be the only person to not just accept abuse from people? Can I be the only person to refuse to be a victim of this system of things? Can I be the only person to refuse to live a life full of hate, jealousy, competition, resentment and greed among other negative things? Can I be the only person to refuse to abandon the beliefs and principals taught in the bible? Psychologists have told people, abuse and mistreatment by others is a key factor in growing up. They say everybody gets this treatment and everybody feels it. They say people should suck-it-up, forgive the abuse, forgive the person and go on with Our lives. But the abuse trickles into every aspect of people's lives. This book is an attempt to get people to look at their lives. I am comparing the things we see and do every day to what the bible says is right. I am not judging you. It is not my place to judge anybody. The almighty God will judge us all at the appropriate time. I will point out however you are judged by people everyday. I am asking you to judge yourself. This is a book about love. Love of God, love of self and love of others. Unconditional love. That's the only thing God requires of us. But what is love? I'm not sure anybody can answer that question, I certainly can't tell you. I can however tell you what it is not. What nobody should ever believe it to be. Most people don't know the first thing about love. They have to go on what they've accepted from people while being told its love. People mistake loving people for the need to see and talk to them daily or at least three or four times a week. Advances in technology have people not only allowing family and friends into their homes but they are so desperate to be a part of something that they are also opening themselves up to perfect strangers daily. Life is what you make it. I believe people bring a lot of life's problems on themselves. They feel the need to know everything happening in other people's lives, they feel the need to tell people what's happening in theirs. Too much communication is soon much contamination. In this book I'll be telling you what I believe and how I live. I'll be telling you what my attempt to live the life God planned for all of us has given me. I'll be telling you why I believe God favors me. And although I know the things that wok for me won't work for everybody. I'd be happy just giving people something to think about. If just one person is changed for the better. my mission will be accomplishe
Book Synopsis The Freaks Came Out to Write by : Tricia Romano
Download or read book The Freaks Came Out to Write written by Tricia Romano and published by PublicAffairs. This book was released on 2024-02-27 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A rollicking history of America's most iconic weekly newspaper told through the voices of its legendary writers, editors, and photographers. You either were there or you wanted to be. A defining New York City institution co-founded by Norman Mailer, The Village Voice was the first newspaper to cover hip-hop, the avant-garde art scene, and Off-Broadway with gravitas. It reported on the AIDS crisis with urgency and seriousness when other papers dismissed it as a gay disease. In 1979, the Voice’s Wayne Barrett uncovered Donald Trump as a corrupt con artist before anyone else was paying attention. It invented new forms of criticism and storytelling and revolutionized journalism, spawning hundreds of copycats. With more than 200 interviews, including two-time Pulitzer Prize winner, Colson Whitehead, cultural critic Greg Tate, gossip columnist Michael Musto, and feminist writers Vivian Gornick and Susan Brownmiller, former Voice writer Tricia Romano pays homage to the paper that saved NYC landmarks from destruction and exposed corrupt landlords and judges. With interviews featuring post-punk band, Blondie, sportscaster Bob Costas, and drummer Max Weinberg, of Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band, in this definitive oral history, Romano tells the story of journalism, New York City and American culture—and the most famous alt-weekly of all time.
Download or read book Badfellas written by Simon Winlow and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-05-25 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fights, fraud and drugs racketeering regularly hit the headlines, but they are just news stories for most of us. For others, they constitute a way of life. This book uncovers a world where male identity is expressed each day through physical strength and power. Focusing on professional criminals and violent men, the author shows how workshop camaraderie, hard physical work and criminal reputations allow for changing masculinities. It is all too easy to stereotype criminals, when, in fact, their world is complex and creative. Criminal men adapt and modify their forms of gender expression to fit in with their changing economic, social and cultural circumstance, as do men in all walks of life. Why is violence attractive to these men? What motivates their crimes, both planned and impulsive? How do criminals themselves view their activities and their reputations, and how do these reputations affect their perception of masculinity? This book is the first sustained analysis of organized crime and violence to use covert research methods. Far from the sensationalized memoirs of retired gangsters, or the abstract discussions of scholars, this book builds on first-hand experiences and relationships made while working amongst bouncers and criminals. The social world of professional criminals and the working environments of criminal bouncers are demystified and laid bare. The author sets individual criminal careers and experiences in the wider context of de-industrialization and globalization, and provides a thoughtful and stimulating addition to the fields of anthropology, sociology and criminology.
