Omerta didn't really do it for me. The fortunate pilgram is actually based on Mario Puzo's real life and in my opinion far better written than Omerta. I can understand why some people don't like it as it is much slower than the mafia novels. But it conveys good wisdom, I particularly like the statement "the state gives charity in the same manner as a ransom victim gives money to a kidnapper" or something to that effect. Worth another read I reckon!
