I enjoy so much of his work.

birdman941 · 11-05-2008, 05:05 PM

I have no idea who that is.

np_mach1 · 11-05-2008, 05:16 PM

WOW... I had no Idea. He was a briliant author. I could read any of his books cover to cover in a couple of days.

RIP

fiveliter · 11-05-2008, 05:24 PM

Wow, I'm right in the middle of reading his book called "Next". About 200 pages in so far, great read.

RIP Michael. What a shame, he was a great writer (he wrote Jurassic Park).

I really loved his work. My gf is heart broken she has read almost all of his books. RIP

Shaker1 · 11-06-2008, 03:12 AM

I have read most of his books too. Some of them twice! Really fond of his older stuff. The movie "the Thirteenth Warrior" was based on "Eaters of the Dead". Great Viking movie! I still have a 1975 copy of "The Great Train Robbery".

Some of his science (fiction) was truly cutting edge.

2k4mach · 11-06-2008, 10:50 AM

holy crap that sux. his books were some good ones most of the time.

32VALVR · 11-06-2008, 03:17 PM

One of the greatest authors of modern times. He will be missed.

AuStang · 11-06-2008, 04:33 PM

Did you know that he was also a critic of MMGW (man made global warming)?

11-06-2008, 05:08 PM

RIP man. He was one of my fave authors.

To be precise, he was a critic of spending billions of dollars before all the facts were compiled. He felt both sides were going off half cocked. And that entire industries were using fear tactics to further their agendas. His book, "State of Fear" illustrated this position.

RIP. Crichton was one of my favorite authors. Some of his books on my shelf no longer have covers because they're so worn from countless re-reads.

Oh, and for fans, he actually finished one last novel before he died, which will be published in May of next year. I can't wait to read it.
