Ok I am going to read some of Puzo's stuff..aside from the Godfather, which is a good book to read first?

A novel that only Mario Puzo could have written. A novel powerful, knowing, and bold enough to encompass America's golden triangle of corruption -- New York, Hollywood, Las Vegas. It is a novel that plunges you into the electric excitement of luxurious gambling casinos -- the heady arena for high rollers and big-time hustlers, scheming manipulators and fancy hookers -- a world of greed, lust, violence, and betrayal, where men ruthlessly use their power, where women ravenously use their sex, where the strongest survive, and ... Fools Die

WOOHOO! i got that from the books section of our Don's website. If this doesnt make you wanna read it, i dunno WHAT will. It was actually the first Mario Puzo book i ever read. (ALSO A GREAT BOOK, THE FORTUNATE PILGRIM)

ha, yes indeed it does make me want to read that book! I just went online and bought a couple of his books and can't wait to read them.

The Dark Arena. It was his first and best.
