November 6, 200817 yr Michael Crichton died at age 66 today after battling cancer. Jurassic Park was an awesome novel, as were many of his books. R.I.P. http://entertainment.slashdot.org/entertai...6/0019253.shtml
November 6, 200817 yr Thanks for totally saddening my day. He was a very good author. Hey now, my mother is huge and don't you forget it. The drunk can't even get off the couch to make herself a vodka drenched sandwich. Octopus suck.
November 6, 200817 yr ****. "Geez. It's like we lost some sort of bet and ended up saddled with a bunch of terrible new posters on this forum." -Hurlshot
November 6, 200817 yr Was a huge fan of his in my teens. Read almost every novel he wrote from Congo, Jurassic Park, Sphere to the Terminal Man. Freaking shame.
November 6, 200817 yr @DogMeat Timeline is my favorite, but, yeah, bad news for all of us... Edited November 6, 200817 yr by Deadly_Nightshade "Geez. It's like we lost some sort of bet and ended up saddled with a bunch of terrible new posters on this forum." -Hurlshot
November 6, 200817 yr Sad day...... Prey was the best btw Hey now, my mother is huge and don't you forget it. The drunk can't even get off the couch to make herself a vodka drenched sandwich. Octopus suck.
November 6, 200817 yr Wha?!?!? I didn't even know he was sick. Man, he did some really great stuff. "Your Job is not to die for your country, but set a man on fire, and take great comfort in the general hostility and unfairness of the universe."
November 6, 200817 yr I can't get myself to care when a celebrity dies, unless it's Gandhi or Nelson Mandela or something. Well, I was kinda nonplussed when Mother Theresa bought it as well. This is normal guys, people die all the time. 66 is only 5 years short of the male median living age. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
November 6, 200817 yr Author I can't get myself to care when a celebrity dies, unless it's Gandhi or Nelson Mandela or something. Well, I was kinda nonplussed when Mother Theresa bought it as well. This is normal guys, people die all the time. 66 is only 5 years short of the male median living age. Don't be a tool. He's not a celebrity, he's a great author. We are sad because a human life is lost, but it is noteworthy because he can no longer give his intellectual gifts to the world.
November 6, 200817 yr Oh no~ The last novel of his I read was Prey, which I enjoyed. I have fond memories of reading his novels before bedtime when I was younger. Rest in Peace.
November 7, 200817 yr This made me quite sad when I heard because Jurassic Park is pretty much responsible for 50% of my childhood.
November 7, 200817 yr I would have to say The Great Train Robbery was my favorite Crichton novel. He was an amazing guy. Supposedly he wasn't even that set on being an author, he just published his early works to pay for medial school and the career took off on him.
November 10, 200817 yr R.I.P. In 7th grade, I teach the students how Chuck Norris took down the Roman Empire, so it is good that you are starting early on this curriculum. R.I.P. KOTOR 2003-2008 KILLED BY THOSE GREEDY MONEY-HOARDING ************* AND THEIR *****-*** MMOS
