RIP Michael Crichton

Mine too. I was so shocked to see this on the news this morning.

RIP to a great author.

RIP to one of the best authors of our time. He was talented as not only an author but a screenwriter too *ER is a GREAT series IMO*

I think my favorite book of his was Sphere, followed closely by Andromeda Strain.

It was the movie The Andromeda Strain (the original, not the remake!)which really ignited my interest in becoming a scientist. RIP, Michael Crichton.

I didn't know about this until now. I will admit that I have only read one book by him: Jurrasic Park... I always loved the book far more than the movie. I must have read it a dozen times or more over the years. It has been a favorite of mine since the first time I picked it up.

Rest easy, Mr. Crichton. Forever you will live on in the great works you have left behind.

He was a favorite author of mine as well. I have read all of his books and loved them. "Terminal Man" and "Prey" are so exciting!!!

Another great loss.

He was one of my favourite authors, too. Just read Jurassic Park again only a couple of months ago.

I was watching all the election reports on cnn yesterday when they suddenly brought the news. Really sad!
