  Hello, Fellow Book Worms and Book Dragons!   This series had been recommended to me by many of my friends and family. I am happy to say that finally I have been introduced to Robert Langdon. And this is one series that I plan to devour visually. The first book swept me up in a grand adventure riddled with mystery and suspense. What can I say, but I am amazed that I have not picked this up sooner than I did.      Angels and Demons is the first novel in the Robert Langdon series of adventure novels written by Dan Brown. The edition that I read was published by Atria Books, an imprint of Simon & Schuster. In it, we are introduced to Harvard Professor Robert Langdon. A somewhat famous symbologist, whose work on researching the Illuminati had in the past drawn him into the limelight of academia. Comfortable at his position as a Harvard professor, Langdon leads a quiet life...
