The Life of Lee by Lee Evans
Requirements: .Mobi Reader 2.06mb
Overview: Lee Evans is one of the best-loved comedians in the country; a Hollywood star able to sell out arenas in the blink of eye.
But he was not always such a roaring success.
The Life of Lee is an utterly hilarious and very moving autobiography charting his ups and downs on the way to the top. Lee takes us on a darkly humorous journey through his childhood spent running wild on a Bristol housing estate and his unconventional school days, when he was publicly derided as ‘a failure’ by a sadistic teacher.
In this brilliantly entertaining and engaging tale, he also guides us through a grim teenage period of numerous dead-end jobs. When he was cleaning toilets and plucking turkeys, he could never have imagined that one day he would be playing to thousands of adoring fans at the O2 Arena.
The book also reveals how as a boy Lee got his first taste of showbiz, living out of a suitcase and accompanying his entertainer father around the smoky, rowdy, unforgiving working-men’s club and theatre circuit.

We Were Crewdogs I – The B-52 Collection by Tommy Towery
Requirements: .ePUB/.MOBI reader, 1.48 Mb,
Overview: Think about it. They lived, worked and fought from a fortress of metal, breathing jet fumes and sucking oxygen from rubber hoses. They were responsible for keeping their planes and their fellow crewmembers in the air, responsible for hitting the targets they were assigned, just responsible. If the crews came back from a combat mission, there might be no thanks at all, but if they didn’t come back … well, they still live on in the memories of their friends and family.

No one ever made a movie about them personally, just them; at least not one with a Hollywood leading man. But for the rest of their lives, the men who called themselves "Crewdogs" would know that their time spent in the air and on that plane would count as some of the most important times of their lives.

In this collection, told in the words of these men, Tommy Towery does what he has always done in his writing — he shows us the value of ordinary people, wrapped in extraordinary circumstances.

How can such stories not be told?

Downtown: My Manhattan by Pete Hamill
Requirements: .MOBI, .EPUB, .PDF, 1.7 MB
Overview: "New Yorkers love calamity," writes Hamill in this marvelous guide to the most expensive piece of real estate in the world. This is a look at the calamities—and the successes—that have struck downtown Manhattan since the time of the first explorers from the Old World. Hamill’s Manhattan is filled with history, architecture and giant personalities. Readers will be thrust into the Civil War riots in Greenwich Village in 1863 and will rejoice in a Times Square filled with delirious New Yorkers on VJ Day in 1945. They will watch the city grow as the subway crawls northward and the big skyscrapers begin to pop up, from the Woolworth Building in 1913 to the World Trade Center in the 1970s. The city’s rogues and heroes are portrayed in action—from Aaron Burr and John Jacob Astor to Stanford White, Walter Winchell and a visiting Oscar Wilde. This is a companion piece to Forever, Hamill’s novel of New York, and The Drinking Life, which explored the city through the alcohol-fueled eyes of the young Hamill. It is written with insight, humor and, most of all, a deep love of the Big Apple. Perhaps Hamill’s mother, Anne Devlin, best put it into perspective: "You’ve seen it before," she told young Peter the first time he was transfixed by the spires of Gotham. "It’s Oz."

Wiseguy by Nicholas Pileggi
Requirements: ePUB reader, 535.12 KB
Overview: "At the age of twelve my ambition was to become a gangster. To be a wiseguy. Being a wiseguy was better than being President of the United States. To be a wiseguy was to own the world." — Henry Hill

Wiseguy is Nicholas Pileggi’s remarkable bestseller, the most intimate account ever printed of life inside the deadly high-stakes world of what some people call the Mafia. Wiseguy is Henry Hill’s story, in fascinating, brutal detail, the never-before-revealed day-to-day life of a working mobster — his violence, his wild spending sprees, his wife, his mistresses, his code of honor.

Henry Hill knows where a lot of bodies are buried, and he turned Federal witness to save his own life. The mob is still hunting him for what he reveals in Wiseguy: hundreds of crimes including arson, extortion, hijacking, and the $6 million Lufthansa heist, the biggest successful cash robbery in U.S. history, which led to ten murders. A firsthand account of the secret world of the mob,

Wiseguy is more compelling than any novel.
