I actually am not much of a reader but I do like Dan Brown's books...and I have to agree with other people here you have to read Angels n Demons. I read Da Vinci first and thought it was good then i read Angels and I thought it was actually better.

Brown's Angels and Demons is better than Da Vinci Code.

Well, I enjoy these... Mercedes Lackey--almost anything by her, but especially the Valdemar, 500 Kingdoms, Diana Tregarde, the Elves on the Road (esp the ones set in Tudor England), and Elemental Masters Anne McCaffrey--Dragonriders of Pern. Technically sci-fi, but earliest books read like fantasy David Eddings (RIP, man)--Belgariad & Mallorean series Katherine Kurtz--Deryni series Christopher Stasheff--Warlock in Spite of Himself & sequels. Science fantasy; futuristic but with a medieval setting Tamora Pierce--Tortall books Lisa Shearin--Magic Lost, Trouble Found; Armed & Dangerous; The Trouble with Demons Diana Gabaldon--Outlander series. Not technically fantasy, either, but there is an element of the supernatural and time-travel Pamela Dean--Tam Lin William Goldman--Princess Bride Neil Gaiman & Charles Vess--Stardust. The illustrated version! Robin McKinley--Blue Sword, Beauty are my personal favs Elfquest. Who cares that it's mostly comic books--excellent story, gorgeous pix. The 1st 3 graphic novels were turned into full novels, plus there are 5 volumes of collected stories by other people dealing with these characters and their ancestors (Blood of Ten Chiefs) and the classics like Narnia, Oz (Baum wrote 14 all together!), Wonderland, Peter Pan. For short reads, I would suggest the Sword & Sorceress anthologies--I think they got up to 20 or 22--or the Chicks in Chainmail ones for a good laugh. Sorry it was series, but that seems to be how my collection runs these days!

If you like Dan Brown's work, you must read Angels and Demons. It actually came out before Davinci Code. I read it after reading The Davinci Code and actually enjoryed it more.
