Today is Michael Crichton's birthday. He would have been 73 years old. He brought a lot to not only books the the entire entertainment industry from movies to television.
The man was a thriller genius and a mastermind at that too.
He created my all time favorite television medical drama, ER.
The show changed the face of television on how characters and stories are told and not to mention how to keep the medicine real. Helping shows from House to Royal Pains are shows that have that realistic touch that Crichton help brought. And he did became a doctor before becoming a best selling author.Along with television, I do have a ton of favorite books that Crichton wrote. Here's my top 10:
1. Jurassic Park
2. Prey
3. The Andromeda Strain
4. The Lost World
5. Congo
6. Disclosure
7. A Case in Need
8. Next
9. Mirco
10. Airframe
I do recommend you to check out one of these books and red them. Once you start reading one of them, you won't want to put the book down. Hell, I still read them whenever I have a chance.
Happy Birthday Mr. Crichton. We still miss you!
