i have 4 main favourites. 1 is the Harry Potter series [of course], 2 is the Dean Koontz books. he's an excellent writer that keeps you on the edge of your seat, no matter how big it is!
3, the reason i have The Godfather all over my profile
: Mario Puzo. 4 is another excellent writer of mob stories, or rather story/ novel/ book. Lorenzo Carcaterra only wrote 1 mob novel, but it is excellent. i read that single book, Gangster, one that has earned itself 2 places in 1 Forum
