Yeah, Puzo wrote The Godfather and that's definitely a title in my Parental Genre.
Dad was mostly a nonfiction/history reader, and I got my love of Studs Terkel from him. Mom is a free-range sort of lady, and goes from genre to genre on a whim. I spent last fall re-reading a historical fiction series she loved back in the 70's by John Jakes about the American revolution - The Bastard etc.
Pretty soapy, in retrospect, but may have been one of those books that made history come alive for me as a young reader.
