Michael Crichton died yesterday at the age of 66. Like others, I remember him fondly. I believe the first "grown-up" book I ever read was Jurassic Park. And I, an impressionable young lad of 10, loved it. Oh My God!, I thought. Swear words! Dinosaurs! Dinosaurs eating people! Wow, reading is fun!
So thank you, Michael Crichton, for being a terrific First Excursion into the world of literature made for grown-ups. We'll miss you.
