    definetly jay check out the godfather there is nothing like it,i guess that's the best book i ever read,i have read it several times,never in ur life will u forget the characters of don corleone and michael corleone,amazing book.

    p.s-mario puzo( :nw: ) was arrested by the police after this book as it was thought he had links with the mafia,no one could believe it was possible to write such a book without knowinbg the mafia

    I agree... there are very few books which an match the godfather in its style. Even the movie is not as good as reading the book.

    hey jayanth .... if you're gonna go into mario puzo and the godfather .... i'd recommend getting the last don as well ..... you'll like that one a lot too if you like the godfather ..... its more like a loose continuation .. though the characters are all different .....
    N omerta is awesome too ...

    BTW how many ppl here think that once you read a novel , watching the movie based on it becomes a drag ? no movie ever matches up to the original novel .... with the exception of the LOTR sris n juraasic park i guess ? what do you all think ?

    me totallyyyy agrees gn'rlies....there's just no way a movie can ever match upto a book... reading a book opens up all the doors to ur vivid imagination sumthing a movie can never do.....as far as jurrasic park is concerned.. me's got totalyyy fed up of tht movie... was thrilled abt it when it just got released aaaageessss bak... but now its just DUMB.....
    @jay....listen to gn'rlies.... u shd get hold of omerta.... its a nice boook 2... though me still says tht godfather was the best......

    i totally agree...the books develop the characters so richly..there are so many side plots that add to the story..these have to be chopped in the movies....
    sometimes i feel that some parts r uneccesarily abridged in the movies.....

    I feel reading is better.. It makes you mature..

    Jurassic Park.. Book is better than the MOVIE..

    ppl ... what i said was ....that jurassic park , LOTR series and a few others are some of the very few movies that came atleast close to capturing the essence of the novels ... the rest don't even come close ..... no movie can really make itself better than the novel its based on ... cuz our imaginations are richer (in most cases lol ) than any movie can ever be ...
    just wanted to appreciate those few as decent efforts ....
    BTW any new author worth reading ? .... i keep going back to the same guys and there's nothing left to read neemore .... i recently read king of torts by grisham ..... pretty cool ..... do give it a try if you're interested in character based stories ...

    Neeone rea "to kill a mocking bird" ? its on the fav list of a lot of ppl i know .. never got a chance to read it ... so i was hoping for view by people here ...
