Imaginaerium, Day 25 - Crime & Creativity

Just write every day of your life. Read intensely. Then see what happens. Most of my friends who are put on that diet have very pleasant careers.  
— Ray Bradbury
  Already the 15th - time flies when you're having fun, doesn't it? We're about half-way there now, so all you got to do is keep writin'!  

Book Recommendation

 
by John Dickie
  Earlier, I recommended a book about the Five Families of the American Mafia (New York, specifically). Today, we're going back to the source with Cosa Nostra by John Dickie. It explores the origins of the Sicilian mob and their violent shenanigans throughout the year, all up until relatively modern times. If you liked Five Families, I highly recommend Cosa Nostra.  
The mafia kills in the way a state does; it does not murder, it executes.  
— John Dickie, Cosa Nostra: A History of the Sicilian Mafia: A History of the Sicilian Mafia
   

Video Recommendation

  You've probably encountered this program at some point in your life, but it turns out the story behind it is pretty insane. John McAfee: The Craziest Man In Tech explores the life and crimes of its subject. Some of it gets pretty grim, so hold onto your hats. There are jungle compunds, drugs, scams, and plenty of weird.

I love faun, the first one you put is one of my favourite happy songs.

Second one is my favorite, because it's the theme song of one of my characters :D

It's quite the story! Fascinating, if tragic for the people he hurt along the way, but.. Yeah. Very fascinating antagonist material

I was researching the Cosa Nostra for one of my articles last night.   Oh man, Faun. I haven't listened to them in ages. I must change that.

I also recommend Five Families for the American side of things; it's a real interesting clash of old and new, and the machinegun fire that settled that dispute. :)
