Spoiler: He is thought to have been spotted in the fourth book, so if the show decides to include this then he might come back. However, even if he does, he'll likely be played by a different actor.
I like reading the books beforehand, too. Reading the books didn't make Season 3 any worse for me, I still loved it just as much. I think it just depends on you as a person really, some people are book purists and it's really ****ing annoying. In chatrooms and stuff they're always like "omfg, they changed his hair colour, HBO you suck, I am never watching this again", and I'm just like, really? Shut the **** up.
