And also....I've seen his books in a few shops recently and noticed the cover of The Godfather has been changed....is it possible to find the novel with its original cover with the picture of the puppeteer's hand?

It's all warped and crappy, but eh... definitely a book you can read more than once. I'm having great difficulty getting past the first chapter in the Sicilian. Maybe the font's too big, maybe I'm too easily distracted by shiny objects, but I'm not finding it to be anywhere as gripping as the Godfather. I'm a girl, and I just want to have fun.
