As good as The Godfather -- or better? - 01/11/12 04:10 AM
Hello,
THE GODFATHER has been my favorite novel for 30 years (ever since I first read it), but I'm itching to read something just as good or better. However, despite reading a book a month, I still haven't found a decent contender. Probably IN COLD BLOOD by Truman Capote (a very different book) is the closest, but hundreds of others I've read just don't match Puzo's masterpiece.
My question to you is: can you recommend a title worthy of standing on the same bookshelf as THE GODFATHER?
Thanks,
Pete
