    This is sad. I remember reading Sphere and Rising Sun.

    Why all great people keep dying?

    Sad indeed. I really liked the few novels of his that I read, also the movie adaptions weren't too bad (Sphere is great if you ask me, but it always gets rated as a B-movie in TV guides). Our last English exam was about an excerpt of Crichton's "Next" (2006), seemed to be rather soft entertainment in comparison to other books of him, but still quite enjoyable.

    R.I.P. mr. crichton

    He has entered the sphere.

    Too bad so close to the election he will be but a footnote...

    I was really sad to hear this as well. He was my favorite author when I was younger. :(
