Favorite Book: "The Godfather" by Mario Puzo
"FUGGEDABOUTIT! This book packed a heavyweight punch--like Ernie Shavers! Yeah, boxing's got plenty of colorful characters, but nothing like the characters in this book--like Don Vito Corleone and his sons Sonny, Fredo and Michael. Yeah, "The Godfather's" got plenty of pop. And this guy Puzo punches out a good sentence." |
