LOVED Angels and Demons by Dan Brown. I was lucky and was told about this prequel before reading The DaVinci Code. As good as the sequel was, I liked the prequel much more (might be because I grew up in Geneva, Switzerland and actually visited the CERN for a school trip years ago!). Have you read any of his other books?

I see that you are a big Picoult fan. If you haven't read "Second Chance" I highly recommend it. If, and when you read it, I'd love to discuss it with you. Also, "My Sister's Keeper" is quite good.

I first read "My Sister's Keeper" over this past Christmas. It's what started me on this crazy must read everything by Jodi craze. I don't currently have "Second Chance" in my possession, but do plan on reading it soon.

Another Jodi Picoult you should read is Vanishing Act.

How funny! I just finished Vanishing Acts last night. I liked it. I lived in Scottsdale for a short while, so it was fun to read about it.
