Anthony Buccino's collection about growing up Italian American in New Jersey and discovering the roots of his ancestors. Read about the old neighborhood where the 'bianca lina' man sold bleach to make the white linens; and the young boy growing up in the house his grandfather built, and living upstairs from his scary grandma who spoke no English. This American boy discovers the land his ancestors left to make a better life for his generation. The pigeons that follow him throughout Italy provide the connection to his father - who raised homers - who didn't speak English until he started school - the rich heritage of the old country, and the enormous sacrifice of his grandparents. Despite its title, Sometimes I Swear In Italian contains no profanity in any language.

For commuters everywhere, you'll enjoy this ride reading Anthony Buccino's latest collection "THIS SEAT TAKEN? Notes of a Hapless Commuter" about the joys and follies of getting to and from work using public transit. Buccino spent 12 years editing business news copy at Dow Jones & Co. for the Ticker, NewsPlus and The Wall Street Journal professional web pages in Jersey City and later at the NewsCorp building in the Times Square district of mid-town Manhattan. For five years, Buccino wrote about commuting and transit in metro New York-New Jersey for NJ.com. His transit blog on NJ.com earned the New Jersey Society of Professional Journalists Excellence in Journalism award. Many of those blurbs are gathered in this collection. These are short pieces readers and commuters can pick it up and read at random, or read as far as they can before their own stop. Then, it's easy to pick up where you left off or try pot-luck in the four sections of the book. This collection is available in print and as an ebook because when he wasn't busy writing notes about his commute, Buccino was reading a newspaper, paperback or an ebook. "My first generation Kindle got me through a lot of long, long waits at the Port Authority Bus Terminal when no one from the bus company would tell us what was going on and the lines stretched down the halls, down the escalators and back out into the lobby," Buccino said. "It's hard to believe I once had a job where I drove 40 miles each way to work. I was changing the oil in my car every three months," Buccino said. "Then for more than 10 years I mostly drove to the bus stop and home and out for groceries once a week. I practically forgot how to drive. "And something strange happened in the years I was commuting. People who drive cars all went screwy. They pull out in front of you. They don't use their turn signals. They drive above the speed limit. These days, drivers hold conference calls and write emails while they are driving on the road. That's one group of people I don't want to read this book, at least not while they are driving," Buccino said. "Perhaps they should set their ereaders to read This Seat Taken aloud as they sit in a traffic jam wondering if the author is on a bus passing them in the express lane." In 2008, Buccino published "Voices on the Bus, Train, Subway, Bus and in My Head," a collection of non-rhyming verse written while commuting in New Jersey.
