Michael Crichton has died

[Funk]

I honestly have tears in my eyes. It is quite a shock. I didn't even know he was battling with cancer. Jurassic Park, The Lost World, and Airframe are a few of my favorite books, and I loved many more of his writings.

I was wondering when he was gonna kick it. He must've been pretty old.

Re: Michael Crichton has died

66.

Not that old. Not even life expectancy.

God bless you Michael Crichton, for bestowing the nation's burgeoning youth with an irrational fear of dinosaurs.

Oh goodness. I'd have expected him to be older.

Re: Michael Crichton has died

Damn, I really love some of his work, can't really say the same about Hollywood’s adaption’s of the same though. I remember reading Airframe, Jurassic Park, Congo, The Andromeda Strain, Sphere and The Lost World all in the same year. Haven't read any of his newer novels, but I have Eaters of the Dead in my soon to read stack of books though.

This is sad indeed.

ER was a staple of my childhood.

WEIRD. I knew there was a reason why I put 'The Great Train Robbery' DVD in today.

Yes. Crichton was a very good writer. Not from a technical standpoint, which is probably where you looking from, but from an entertainment standpoint. And Crichton was one of the best when it came to entertaining writing.
