"WE"? Brave New World is very good though - I suspect you'll enjoy it.

I just finished Tomorrow Windows not long ago. Quite good. The one I'm reading at the moment (Anachrophobia) is by the same author I believe. I'm also idly reading The Dying Days in my spare moments.

Dan Brown. I don't think I like his style of writing very much. He's not a bad writer, he just can't seem to manage nuance very well, let alone strong characters.
