Crich'tonic'!

Michael Crichton, famous author of 'Jurassic Park' and many other sci-fi novels, is no more.

During college days, my foray into reading English novels started with Crichton's riveting stories.
Those were the days when Crichton's-Archer's (should I say Sheldon's as well) novels, Bryan Adams'-BSB's-Celine Dion's albums were 'must-haves'.
I'm sure many
folks of that era ( :) ) will swear by this!

Though replete with scientific jargon, his novels had no dearth of entertainment, thrill and drama. What I liked most about them was the detailing that he used to put in. Everything used to sound very well researched. The story-telling part was impeccable.
Overall, it used to be thoroughly enjoyable experience.

So Michael, million thanks for these -
  • Jurassic Park
  • Disclosure
  • State of Fear
  • Congo
  • Timeline
  • Sphere
  • The Andromeda Strain
  • The Lost World
  • The Train robbery
...and many more.

May your soul rest in peace.

Song of the moment : जाईन विचारीत रानफुला - किशोरी आमोणकर

i remain.

(P.S. - btw, my 'Airframe' and 'Jurassic Park' are missing, whosoever has them, kindly return.)

Very true anky. Some writers are part of your life and Crichton is one of them. He will be missed.
