Thats what I was going to recommend, except I was gonna say just skip Forge of God and read Anvil of Stars as stand alone. I didnt think Forge of God was very good, and its plot is simple enough that you can skip it.

Eon by Greg bear is pretty good too.

If you want to move to something completely different-

Child of God by Cormac McCarthy is a good into to his work.

I, Claudius by Robert Graves is one of the best historical fiction novels out there. Aztec and Gates of Fire are pretty good, also. They're geared more toward entertainment then Graves book, though I do find Graves books to be entertaining.
