and michael crichton

has died.

I sure wasn't expecting that.

There were a couple chapters in his Travels book that absolutely rocked that I re-read.

I remember my father giving me that book, and checking in with me a couple of times to make sure I was enjoying it.

One of the few books that we've both read, actually.

:) That's one of the beautiful things about books -- we can bond over them.

It was awesome to tell Vonda my mom and I bonded over Dreamsnake.

Yep, first of his books I read as well. I think I was a freshman in high school.

I was a junior, I think. It was fall, and I was home sick from school.
