    Jurassic Park was the first non-childrens book I read cover-to-cover. Ashame.

    Shame to hear. He's my favorite author and his newer stuff had some very good content. Jurassic Park is a great American novel, too.

    One of my favorite books by him was also one of his earlier works - Eaters of the Dead.

    RIP Michael Chrichton

    Was sad to see an article in todays newspaper about the passing of one of my favorite authors.

    Michael Crichton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Died on the 4th. He was most well known for writing books such as Jurassic Park The Andromeda Strain and Shpere. Also created the hit TV show ER. I always loved how he brought relevant topics in social scientific issues to light in entertaining and insightful manners. Rest in Peace man. :cry:
