RIP Michael Critchton

"Books? You want books?! Ha! We've got books on hairy otters, on onions and on mars! All the fungus you could care for, plus, three triple zillion stars. We've got books on flossing teeth, plus three books on tossing sheep. If we spent our lives just counting books, we'd never get to sleep!" -Leopold the Librarian ("The Great Wishy Woz")

I had to go look this up because I didn't believe it.

Wow--one of the most talented writers of his generation, to be sure.

He was a prolific writer, mostly of thrillers with science-fiction themes. His most famous books were, "The Andromeda Strain", "Congo", "Disclosure", "Rising Sun", "Timeline", "State of Fear", "Prey", "Next", and "Jurassic Park".

By the way, my favorite is "The Great Train Robbery".
