Too old for this shit Posts: 11,575 Group: Members Member #46 Joined: September 30, 2006	Has anyone else else read anything by Michael Crichton? You see, I have read Jurassic Park 1 and 2, State of fear and just finished Prey. I liked all of them and want to read some more, but I don't know what to read next. I like his blend of heavy science and thriller action but don't want to pick up something duff. Anyone read anything else?

Hooray! Is it actually good, then? I placed it at the bottom of my "to read" pile. I read Sphere ages and ages ago, and really liked it, but now I doubt myself as I saw the film and it has the worst ending of all films. I assume the book ends better, though, and they just monged it up for cinema.

He certainly does good research on all his books and he has a thing for showing the potential dangers of new technologies - cloning, nano technology, emergent behaviour. I saw Sphere at the cinema but can't remember a thing about, except it made very little sense. Maybe I'll read that next.

It was boring as hell, anyway. Plus the whole of the story save from the last three pages was on the blurb in the back. Awful. How do authors look to you, if you don't know what they look like? For me, all thriller/crime writers have brown hair, slightly greying but covered with Just for Men or similar. Generic face. They insist on using a typewriter and live at home with their wives, who bring them tea (2 sugars) once an hour. Their wife is cheating on them. Science Fiction writers have grey/white hair and a joined-up beard/moustache combo. they all have a disgusting hidden fetish, often scat-based.

	I just bought a bag of the new Starburst, and I definity have mixed impressions - the blackcurrant are far nicer now (not difficult) and the orange taste more like oranges. The lemon-lime have gone downhill, completing Masterfoods' hatchet job on them, and the strawberry are about the same. Not the total disaster suggested, at least.

He looks like the most desperate cockney alcoholic that you would expect to live his life wandering from the pub to the bookies and back again and his leather jacket stinks of smoke.

Practically every one is comedy gold. One the other day was a big bald rugby playing bugger who looked like he was trying to blow up an invisible balloon. Funnnnnny. Ish.
