Re-reading (for the first time as an ebook) Isaac Asimov's I Robot, from eReader.com.

I read Lovecraft's The Mountains of Madness a long time ago and loved it -- he's a great read.

I'm currently reading Angels & Demons by Dan Brown (author of The Da Vinci Code). I bought it at Fictionwise, and HIGHLY recommend it.

I just finished reading The Farseer trilogy by Robin Hobb. It was fantastic! I HIGHLY recommend them. Now I'm starting on the follow up set, The Tawny Man trilogy. I got them both from Fictionwise.

Last year I read all four Dan Brown books back to back in one week.
Right now I am re-reading A Confederacy of Dunces which I read a long time ago.

Are they all as good as The Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons?

If I were to rank them in terms of enjoyment:
Angels & Demons - 10 stars (read this for the 2nd time while vacationing in Rome last summer)
DaVinci Code - 9
Deception Point - 6
Digital Fortress - 5
