Welcome to Litsy!

Much better than I remembered. Sonny, Michael, Tom Hagen and the rest leap off the page, and towering over them all the Godfather himself, one of the great figures of popular fiction. Puzo deserves to be recognised as one of the most influential figures in popular culture.

I enjoy mafia history and this book was very interesting as gave history of Jimmy Hoffa too. I wanted to read the book before seeing the movie and really glad I did.

Apparently my admin status in the Queens of Mafia group on FB is in jeopardy because I haven‘t read this series yet 😂

I know it's a little early, but I'm starting to plan for my personal reading challenge for 2020.

The theme: Italian
Book count goal: 30-40

I'm looking for books that are either 1) by an Italian author, 2) set in Italy, or 3) about Italy.

This is where I need some help.

Outside of the obvious authors like Primo Levi, Italo Calvino, Andrea Camilleri, and Elena Ferrante who are some authors or titles I should add to my list?

Rating: 3.5/5 stars.

I waited to get this book only for this book to wait on my shelf before I picked it up and read it. I must say, I will never do that again.

I enjoyed this and I'm looking forward to watching the movie now and perhaps even getting into other gangster movies and books.

It was going so well...!! And then we learned the guy was missing a finger, oh boy. It almost feels like I'm reading a whole other #webcomic with how the prologue and chapters are different 🤔🤔🤔 #tappytoon #wishmelove #mafia #boyslove
