Title: Michael Crichton died
Post by: Izret101 on November 10, 2008, 07:32:30 PM
Meant to post this a couple days ago when i heard.

Apparently he died of cancer that he had been "hiding" or so the 5 second blurb i caught on the news said.
Really sucks he was a great author. I was also pretty surprised i hadn't seen or heard anything else about it over the next few days. Maybe i was watching the wrong stations?


Anyone else fans of his works?
I own almost all of his books and have read about half of them.
Great stuff.

I read a handful of them, and have a number more on the old to-read list.

That is quite sad to hear.

I was sad to hear of his passing.  Wrote some of my favorite books.  Jurassic Park, Congo, Sphere, Eaters of the Dead.

I read an older version(printed in the 60s so maybe the first edition?) i'm curious if more recent editions are different.
