As Las Vegas and the crass materialism it embodies continues to be glorified by popular culture, Mario Puzo's novel is still fresh today.  His warning of the allure, but ultimate emptiness and futility of consumption and consumerism is perhaps even more relevant and timely now then when the book was originally published.
