I've actually picked up the novel (yes, in paperback, even the 30th anniversary edition) many times in bookstores and even read a few pages before putting it back on the shelf. Somehow, I always randomly open it up to pretty good parts, like the murders of both Luca and Santino...and my personal favorite (so far)...when Clemenza is forced to ponder on how to do away with Paulie. I must admit it does give the situation a depth that was virtually impossible to put across in the movie.
