Reading Material.... you know, books.

I recommend the Beyond the Thong Series by Robert Paris. I would start with Gorilla Suit and then climax at the end with Generation Queer.

"Rod and Bob".

True crime -

If you like Mafia books, Murder Machine by Capeci and Mustain was excellent. It's about the Demeo Crew in late 70's, early 80's NYC. If you're a Sopranos fan, you also see some similarities between the book and some later show plots.

American Desperado about the early 80's Miami drug trade was a fun read.

Clubland by Frank Owen was pretty good. It deals with Michael Alig, the Limelight, and the American Rave drug dealing scene of the early 90's.

The Brotherhoods by Guy Lawson was top notch. It deals with the infamous Mob Cops, and the various mob wars of the 80's, 90's.

The Five Families by Selwyn Rabb is a classic.

Crais, Lawrence Block, Walter Mosley, Pelecanos, Robert B Parker, Donald Westlake / Richard Stark are always good for crime fiction. James Ellroy too, but you may need to be in the mood for him.

American Desperado is a good one.  Dude was loco and at times couldn't believe the people he ended up having to work with.

Read about the Michael Alig (Party Monster) story.... was a fuck-n-fumble by the police in that case.

I look for Murder Machine on the torrents sites.   Thanks,

Dean Koontz has some good reads, in the horror/sci fi theme that Stephen King writes in.  But unlike King, Dean actually has endings that make sense.
