I love that book. A tough read, but so worth it!

I just read WIJM a couple weeks ago...what a great book

Currently I'm reading Digital Fortress by Dan Brown. I can already tell it's nowhere as good as Angels and Demons or The DaVinci Code...but it's ok.

I really wish Jimmy would write more books!
I am really looking forward to reading Angels and Demons

It was a great read...definitely a "can't put it down" book. I read The DaVinici Code first, read the whole thing in 2 days (thanks to this years hurricanes, not much to do with no power). Then Angels and Demons shortly after...both very good, also read this one over 1 weekend...just couldn't stop reading it

Which book by Brown would you read first if you plan on reading some of them? at least Angels and Deamons and DaVinci Code.

One of the BEST books ever. Read it back in the 70s! I ought to read it again with MORE understanding.

I completely concur.

I don't think it matters. I heard people say Angels and Demons was a "prequel" of sorts or just before The DaVinci Code, but I saw no real correlation with the two. They have similar subjects, but the only other thing they have in common is the main character. I would say read A's and D's first just because it would be like reading a plot and then when you get to the Code, you see the bigger picture. Although I read Code first and was just fine with the order.

Digital Fortress is a completely different subject and completely irrelevant to the other two. I wouldn't recommend it as a high priority read

I just finished Lamb by Christopher Moore. While I thought Fluke was funny, Lamb is hysterical.
