When he wrote "The Andromeda Strain" ...

I did not know he wrote that. Saw the movie years ago when I was a kid.

My dad (then an airline pilot) had Crichton on one of his flights right after Andromeda Strain came out. He was reading it, and Crichton was nice enough to sign it for him. No idea where that book is! :-( But Dad said he was a great guy.

I admire him for bucking the leftist establishment. The Slate review even screwed up the title, calling it "State of Terror" instead of "State of Fear." Nimrods.

This will be a must-see tonight.

Have you ever read one of Crighton's books? Inside the the front cover you just might run across a page that says something like "Other Books by This Author".
