Well, I finally got around to starting it last night, TB. I only read Part One, which culminates in JB coming to America with his cousin and being greeted by none other than Willie Moretti.

When he's not babbling about his "Tradition" (which is tough to stomach), he actually comes across as having been a grandfatherly, almost kind old man, with a better memory than a 30 year old!

Like I said before, I read it way back in the '80s when it first came out, so it's reading pretty fresh right now. I'll keep you posted.
