Michael Crichton died yesterday at age 66.

I was overtly critical of some of his books, but a few remain some of my favourite cautionary science fiction books from my youth (mainly "The Andromeda Strain" and "Jurassic Park").

I was very sad when I heard this. I loved most of his books, even the terrible ones (fun to read).
No one even knew he had cancer...
I am writing about Jm in my signature because apparently it's an effective method of ignoring him.

two words of appreciation for Crichton:

RISING

SUN

Peter Brady was by far the ugliest Brady kid on the "Brady Bunch". I mean, they were all pretty ugly, and the fact that the Brady dad wanted to always take the boys out on overnight camping trips just a tad bit too often, gave me the creeps.

Well said everyone.

He was my favorite author.
