I recntly read The Godfather Returns. It is a wonderful return to the Corleone family and it admirably filled in the gaps between the movies. Pith Puzo's blessing I might add. There is a bigger gap between Godfather II and Godfather III that I would like to see explored. All in all I would recommend this book.

I just finished The Romanov Prophecy. This book is an excellent read and has mystery and intrigue and all that fun stuff. Most of it covers history with a twist. I also would reccomend this book.

Books I did not like include Shadowmancer. It was hyped as the Christian Harry Potter and believe me.... the book will piss you off even if you are a Christian. The Preacher in this book turns EVIL as all get out and tells the folks that Tarot reading is of the devil and various other things. The plot stank and I will not read book two that is now out. They did not even hype book two.

I have read the Davinci Code and Angels & Demons by Dan Brown and believe me, they are awesome books. What I am trying to figure out is what all the silliness is about with these two books? Are all religious fanatics stupid? This book is FICTION! Albeit there are facts in there that can not be disputed but it is listed quite clearly as FICTION. In our store it is in the MYSTERY/THRILLER section. Still fiction nonetheless.

A man and a woman were sitting beside each other in the first-class section of a jet liner. The woman sneezed, took out a
tissue, gently wiped her nose, then visibly shuddered for ten or fifteen seconds. The man went back to his reading.

A few minutes later, the woman sneezed again, took a tissue, wiped her nose, then shuddered quite violently once more.
Assuming the woman might have a cold, the man was still curious about the shuddering.

A few more minutes passed when the woman sneezed yet again. As before, she took a tissue, wiped her nose, her body
shaking even more than before. Unable to restrain his curiosity, the man turned to the woman, and said, "I couldn't help but notice
that you've sneezed three times, wiped you nose, then shuddered violently. Are you okay?"

"Sorry if I disturbed you," the woman replied. "I have a very rare medical condition; whenever I sneeze, I have an orgasm."

The man, more than a bit embarrassed, was still curious. "I've never heard of that condition before," he said. "Are you taking anything for it?"

"Yes," the woman nodded. "Pepper"
