One of Gravity's and October's favorite authors died yesterday. Michael Crichton was 66. Many people probably did not even understand that Jurassic Park was primarily about chaos mathematical theory and that the dinosaurs were only used to demonstrate the math theory. His research was awe-inspiring to say the least! We will miss your books. Fond farewell.----------------------
October says:
My two favorite books of his are Andromeda Strain and the little known The Great Train Robbery which is based on an actual train robbery in England. Both of these books are very well researched and written. Andromeda Strain was actually written while Crichton was in medical school. I like both of the films produced from both of theses book, too. It could be because Crichton was heavily involved with both of these films, too. I will miss his books.
