It's not personal, it's business.

Read Mario Puzo's "The Godfather".

The book more than deserves being called a classic. Despite being a book filled with violence and ostensibly chronicling the adventures of a Mafia family - with the mafiosi as the protagonists, no less - it imparts valuable lessons on human character and honour.

Law enforcement authorities are portrayed as corrupt; crimes committed by the rich and influential go unpunished while common law-abiding folk find themselves powerless and unable to trust the judicial system. In a world like this, who do you turn to? Well, The Godfather.

Read it!
