I would suggest:
Start with The Hobbit. The lightest of Tolkien's works set in Middle-earth, but an important prologue to
The Lord of the Rings. If you get through this (plus the Appendices), enjoy it, and wish to read more, then move onto
The Silmarillion. More difficult than 'Rings, this was Tolkien's Magnum Opus. It delves into the histories of the Elder Days, and is a must-read for the devout Tolkien fan.
Unfinished Tales or The Children of Hurin. These are pretty much interchangeable, however, if you enjoyed Lord of the Rings more than The Silmarillion, then Unfinished Tales (UT) may be better, as it (among other things) has information and some stories related to the events described in the Lord of the Rings.
The Children of Hurin is a sub-story of The Silmarillion that has been fleshed out to a more immediate/"novel"-like tale than its rendition in The Silmarillion.
Should you wish to delve deeper into Tolkien's works, the twelve Histories of
Middle-earth are available. These books give the oldest versions of the tales that would become The Silmarillion, with commentary by Christopher Tolkien. There is also linguistic information, etc. It is not strictly necessary to read these in the order they are presented in; indeed, in this reader's opinion, some of them quite tedious at times. Morgoth's Ring, The Wars of Beleriand, and The Peoples of Middle-earth, are among the best. If you enjoy the poetry of The Lord of the Ringsand The Silmarillion, then The Lays of Beleriand provides a compilation of the poetry and lays Tolkien wrote.
Finally, there are other works (such as Roverandom) not set in Middle-earth, and The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien. The latter is a compilation by Humphrey Carpenter of a selection of Tolkien's letters from over the course of his life. They provide interesting insights into Tolkien's thoughts concerning his writing and include a few of his responses to "fanmail."
There isn't a specific order you need to read Dan Brown's books in, as each can stand alone. However, it may be better to start with "The Da Vinci Code," as it is one of his most popular books and introduces the character Robert Langdon.
the ones with professor Robert Langdon in them go:
None! It is a fictional theme in one of Dan Browns admittedly fictional books
There may be past and present "Treasure hunts" like in the Dan Brown books, but typically nothing that ever gets reported on. Typically only the rich and famous have the means to participate in things like this.
Dan Brown's works are still a fairly new as far as books go, so they are not yet available in the public domain. This means that they cannot be read for free online legally. However, they can be purchased in e-book form. See the related link and questions below.
If you our looking for a "can't put it down" book, all of Dan Browns are strongly recommended, i especially think 'the da vinci code' is riveting and exhilarating. If your looking for a children's book 'James and the giant peach' is great by Roald Dahl, and Shakespeare is wonderful, however quite confusing at first.
science is used dangerously when you have scientist producing weapons of mass destruction and refuse to see the other side of the coin. please read Dan Browns Angels and Demons.

Posting books on internet is illegal. You should simply go to a book store and a buy one for yourself. You'll get your money's worth, i guarantee you.

Probably not, most of his books have at least one crude word in them.
