Anyone see te movie of The Sicilian? Heard it wasn't exactly encredible, but that it was directed by Michael Cimino who made that great award winning The Deer Hunter, but created one of the most tragic Hollywood failures ever with Heaven's Gate. Hey, Pherdy, I know exactly how it is. The educational system kiiled a lot of much desire at all to read novels for "fun" a long time ago. Which is why I'm still curantely listening to The Godfather on tape. I think I may put it on soon, exactly, having read all this . Eh, GuineaPig, you should probably return that, moral correctness and all, and, well, you never know which libraries might have a Luca Brasi . So, for this Family Novel, is it like anything Puzo's written before? I mean, I read that it's about wrather far-back history. Wouldn't think there'd be much in the way of mafia, except for a few themese here an there.
