It's funny-- I was going to add The Godfather, but I'm not sure in which category to place it! It has a family member term in the title;
it takes place over Vito's lifetime;
he's an immigrant;
and it's a book that's been mentioned in other books!
Basically, if you're having trouble with any one of those categories, read The Godfather!
I read it on my kindle and sometimes listened to the audio book (which fulfills a requirement on the main list!). The audio is performed by Joe Mantegna, so it's well executed and very entertaining.
