Great timing! I bought this a couple of weeks ago and it's sitting on my book shelf begging to be read!

Will Labbé | 1 comments I've read the Godfather and I did not enjoy it very much. The movie is better in nearly every way.

I'm sorry to hear that! I actually love every single book Puzo wrote and was thrilled when Godfather 2 was made and it went more along the lines of the book(s). For gangster book, only Nicholas Pileggi comes close.

If a second is needed, and I think it isn't, I second The Godfather by Mario Puzo.

Dustin The Godfather is excellent, I thought.:)

“If you want to cool off this summer with a fine horror novel, hunt up THE DEEP, by Nick Cutter. Scary as hell, and well written, to boot.”

Did he read the book and is recommending it? Or just re-tweeting the author opening her very first book she wrote?

this sounds good if it applies.


message 12: by Nancy (new)

Nancy (paper_addict) | 935 comments He was just re-tweeting her tweet. She was surprised he re-tweeted her tweet about opening her very own book she wrote.

That’s really cool that he did that. He must remember that feeling of getting your very first book published and getting a copy of it.

OY! This one is hard. I'm going to go ahead an add this to the poll since there were only two other books nominated. I don't know if it technically counts but I hope everyone doesn't mind that I add it.


message 17: by Latasha (new)

Latasha (latasha513) | 432 comments I don’t mind.

Ian Crump | 29 comments I know it was a bit cheeky to put that one forward - but the book sounds great - I couldn't resist.

I hope nobody minds that it's included in the poll.
