Weekly "what are you reading" Thread #71

I'm reading "Casino: The Rise and Fall of the Mob in Las Vegas" the book that "Casino" with Joe Pesci was based on. Also the same writer wrote about Henry Hill in a book that became "Goodfellas" which also starred Joe Pesci. It turns out that the reality was even more violent than the movie portrayed it. For example, after torturing a guy for 2 days they put his head in a vice and turned it until one eye popped out and he gave up a name. In the movie they just give up at that point. In reality the Joe Pesci character put lighter fluid on his face and set him ablaze until he died.
