I'm stopping on the way home to get it. It's been a long wait, hasn't it?

Yes it has. I just recently got H to read Da Vinci Code. He loved it then wanted to see the movie again I drug him to it when it first came out and he fell a sleep during it.

He goobled up Angels & Demons over the summer and is waiting for it to come out on DVD.

I've read the other 2 of his books as well, Digital Fortress and Deception point. Loved them as well!!!

I thought Angels & Demons was even better than DaVinci Code. Haven't read the other two but might need to add them to My List.

I got mine today too, but was reluctant to start it on a weeknight. Glad I did based on tp's comments. Looks like I'll be waiting for the weekend.

Very cool! I would love to do a tour of all the sites from the books!

I am super excited that the new book is based right here in my back yard.

Maybe I could do tours!!!

Waiting for H to finish reading it. I let him go first bc I'm in the middle of the Jodi book Handle with Care.

We preordered it and got 40% off at Borders.

Have not read any of his books, but have looked at his site a bit...is DaVinci, A&D, and Lost a series or do they stand alone?

His site says that Lost is a follow up to DaVinci, but does not mention A&D.

I love series, but before I start a new author I always want to be sure I start at the beginning...kinda anal about that!

Thx.

They all center around the main character, Robert Langdon.

They don't go in any particular order. They do all have the Robert Langdon character, and Lost does reference some of the things that happened in Da Vinci, but you don't need to read them in order.

So if you want to read them in order, what is the order?

13 years later...finally healed. Definitely survived and thrived and you can, too.

Angels & Demons

DaVinci Code

The Lost Symbols

But there really is no connections between the stories.

I read DC first, then A&D, then went back and read his first 2 books. Now reading this.

I just picked up a copy last weekend.....I can't start reading it yet since my classes take precedence. If I start it, I won't get anything else done!

...still has much to learn :-(
