Interesting thing is that I was planning on reviving an old thread with such a topic...

I have recently read "The Fortunate Pilgrim" and was stunned. It's not a Mafia/Gangster book, but it ranks up with my favourite of all time (not only of Puzo)

Anyway, here is the list of Puzo Novels (those I've read*) in order of preference (after the introduction of The Fortunate Pilgrim:

1] The Godfather
2] The Fortunate Pilgrim
3] The Sicilian
4] The Last Don
5] Omerta

*I'm yet to read The Dark Arena and The Family...But having some idea about the topic of The Dark Arena, I don't think I'll like it...I also have to buy The Fourth K...
