I've read all of the Dan Brown books so far, and have to say that I completely enjoyed every single one of them. 
I think I liked Angels & Demons more than I liked the much-vaunted DaVincini code, and that's saying a lot, since I'm a art major.
Thanks for mentioning the MT/Amazon link, Tess, I'd never noticed it before, but will definately be clicking in there from now on!

Loved it.

I read The Dante Clube very shortly after reading The Davinci Code. Maybe because it was I had just finished The Davinci Code, but I was a bit disappointed in The Dante Club. I was interested in the book, being a fan of The Inferno, but I just found it a chore to finish The Dante Club.Melissa426 said:

I just finished reading Hard Rain by Barry Eisler. It's a pretty good read, and even includes some ASP baton vs. knife work near the end.
Hmm, its been a while, time to bump this thread.
Rain Storm by Barry Eisler - excellent as usual, I think Hard Rain edged it though.
The Monkey Wrench Gang by Edward Abbey - the book that inspired Earth First! I read it about 12 years ago as a much younger and more idealistic environmentalist and it isn't holding the same appeal to me.
Guilty Pleasures by Laurell K. Hamilton - the modern world meets fantasy monsters, appealing because of its quality world creation.

I just read King of Foxes by Raymond Fiest, the second book in his Conclave of Shadows series. It suffers from many of the same problems that plague Fiest's works. Its pacing is inconsistent, the climax and ending are rushed through, etc. But the characters are always interesting and this work is far from his worst novel.
And, I'll read anything by Fiest. The first adult length novel I picked up was his Magician, where it all began. So, they're comfort reading for me now and a good way to spend an afternoon. (Rarely do I spend more than a few hours to finish a book)
Looking forward to the next book's release in paperback. China Mieville and William Gibson are about the only fiction authors I'll buy in hardcover . . . although Stover's novellization of Episode III is really tempting me. He's an amazing writer as well.

Stories From The Twilight Zone. Rod Serling was a genius.

I've been reading a couple of Lee Child's books on Jack Reacher. I finished Tripwire early in the week and started Die Trying last night. If you like mystery thriller or Men's Adventure novels, I recommend this series.

Closing Time by Joseph Heller
Had to rush out and buy it as soon as i'd finished Catch 22, i'd advisew everyone who hasn't to read it. Funny and poignant in a way no one else manages.

Ack! I put a non-fiction book in the fiction section. Must edit...must...
I'm reading "Tides of War." That's a work of fiction. Pretty good, too.
