I liked the book when I was little, but the movies, not so much. But I did like the book so much I tried another one of Puzo’s called Fools Die. And I love, love that book. LOVE that book. Want THAT one made into a movie, please!
My grandfather’s name was Vito. He was 1st generation Italian-American, and grew up in New York. He had a couple of joke “I’m in the mafia” magnets on the fridge, but we weren’t allowed to ask him about it. Ever. Seriously.
I also had an Uncle Junior. (Technically he was my mom’s great-uncle, but everyone just called him “uncle.”)
Oops, sorry for the confusion. That was supposed to be posted in the thread about audience comments that could easily be associated with a particular movie.
