People of a more literary bent might turn their noses up at his writing, but I was always appreciative of the level of intelligence in his books.

That's bad news...

His writing was always very fact based...

"State of Fear" and "Sphere" were both GREAT reads..

RIP

That sucks. I don't know how many times I've read his various books. He was certainly one of my favorite writers.

[Guest flyfishtn]

He was a physician by trade and then got into writing. Really enjoyed his books.

Jurassic Park was wonderful.

I guess he couldn't take the joy of Obama being elected.

He will be missed.

This further ruined my day. I actually was so upset at lunch, I punched the table, threw away my food and just walked out to stares at my back. This day has sucked.

Ha ha ha.

If only Oprah was as overcome with joy.

Beat me to it.

If only Oprah was as overcome with joy.

Did you catch the interview, between her and the female asian reporter? I seriously wanted to vomit on her feet and then punch her in the throat.

Not to derail the thread, but...
