Finished Angels & Demons (guessed the villain early!). Should I jump straight into Da Vinci Code or take a break with James Patterson?

Discussion

So I'm currently at the end of Angels & Demons. I really enjoyed the ride—the pacing is incredibly fast, and the writing was so captivating. It's a total page-turner, even though I managed to guess the main villain by page 400! Now I need some advice on what to pick up next: Option A: Continue the Robert Langdon series and start The Da Vinci Code. Option B: Take a break with a different style of thriller and read Along Came a Spider by James Patterson. I'm a bit worried that reading two Dan Brown books in a row might feel a bit too repetitive, especially since I caught onto the twists in this one. Did you guys binge the Langdon series, or did you pace it out with other books in between? Let me know what you'd choose!
