The Godfather by Mario Puzo. ISBN: 0451167716. Classic. If you haven't read it yet, well you might as well. Kick ass classic book of old school mafia fun (murder, drugs, sex.....all the worthwhile activities) with a touch of social commentary. My only complaint....the book stunk. No I mean literally, it was funky as all hell. I went to Barnes and Noble to buy the paperback and it smelled really bad. Like my hands smelled after handling it. So I didn't buy it and went to a different B & N on the way home. Found more copies there and those reeked too! WTF? Is it too much to ask that a 7.99 paperback doesn't smell weird??? I'm gonna ask penguin books the publisher what is up with that? Are they tring to push audio books or something? I bought it anyway because I really wanted to read it but it pisses me off anyway.
