R.I.P Michael Crichton

[mwbeeler]

Was looking for anything non-election related when I passed by a picture of him in front of a billion copies of State of Fear. Flipped passed (more election crap, cripes), then thought, wait a sec, there was a -2008 on the end of that. Flipped back; sure enough, apparently he passed away today due to cancer. Bummer; super talented, I never read a book of his I didn’t enjoy.

I hadn't heard.

R.I.P.

[Lazaro]

Too bad. I've read a few of his books, very good.

[Cuchulainn]

Lots of good writers kickin' off recently. It's sad to hear.

He shall be missed. He was a very good writer, and a classy guy all around. Rest in peace, sir.

[Wicht]

That's sad to hear. He had quite a career in both books and movies.

Here is a news article about his death.

This sucks. I really enjoyed his books.

[The Eldritch Mr. Shiny]

First Hillerman, then Crichton. Jeez, man. What the f%~%?

[Montalve]

dammit :S

i really enjoyed what little i got to read by him... specially "eaters of the dead"

i was shocked and sad by this thread
well not as shocked as watching yesterday that we lost our "Secretario de Gobierno" (its like our vice-president) in an "accident"

My wife and I are both mourning. I love his books and she loves E.R.

[Dreamweaver]

That sucks, lost a really good author with him. Like all of his books.
