The Borgias are truly fascinating. I can't wait to watch the CBC series once I've finished the German-French one. While I am very impressed with it and thank Netflix for bringing it to us, I really want to see Jeremy Irons. I'll probably get the DVDs.

Oh my gosh...Mario Puzo wrote about the Borgias? That's great. I really like him as a writer...I've read The Last Don as well as The Godfather. I'll have to get The Family for sure now. I'd like to read a non-friendly book and a friendly one, just to make the comparisons between them. :)
