RIP Michael Crichton

From CNN.com...

Michael Crichton, the best-selling author of Jurassic Park and creator of the TV series ER, has died at the age of 66, according to a statement from his public relations firm. The release said the author died unexpectedly after a "courageous and private battle against cancer."


Wow, that is sad and terrible news. I always loved his books and Jurassic Park was one of the first adult novels I read when I was growing up. It's a shame we'll won't get a chance to read another tale from this inventive and intelligent author.

Indeed, it's a sad turn of events. I'll always remember you mentioning him to me and letting me borrow a couple of his books.
