Michael 'The Gaad' Crichton!
If therez one person in the world who has been able to convincingly convince me ( :) ), itz gotto be this man - CRICHTON! Every single novel of his has a differerent theme...a different genre...and each one is so damn awesome.
Great Train Robbery - As the name suggests, story of a classic robbery...was made into a movie too...
The Andromeda Strain - About the strain of viruses that reach earth when a man-made satellite returns from orbit...
The Terminal Man - About a man who's brain is supplemented by a mechanical brain...
Eater's of the dead (The 13th warrior) - A biography of a messenger...Also a movie...
Congo - About an expedition into the jungles of congo, in search of a lost city...Also a movie...
Sphere - About the discovery & investigation of a huge 'sphere' from god-knows-where! Also a movie...
Jurassic Park - Do I have to tell you! But let me tell you this...if u read the book, you'll really wonder how Spielberg (of all people) spoiled such a wonderful plot in his motion picture! The bookz 100 times better than the movie...
The Lost World - About the rediscovery of the forgotten dinosaurs ...Guys, dont come into a conclusion after watching the movie...the movie SUCKED to say the least...the bookz too good...
Rising Sun - Invesigation of the murder of a *beautiful* woman...
Disclosure - ONE OF HIS BEST, folks...Mixes law, science and computers into a wonderful nail-biting plot...demi moore n michael douglas have done a wonderful job, beyond expectations...
Airframe - Investigation on what went wrong after loads of people arrive injured when an aircraft lands on the tarmac...AWESOME too...if u r into aircraft or flying, this book will take you to the stars...
Timeline - About time-travel, explained in such a way that I was convined it would work someday...lolz...And the movie was CRAP...
Prey - This is probably one of his bad books...seemed as if he wrote it with an intention of making it into a movie...the bookz about man-made nano swarms...
State of Fear - TOOOOOOO GOOD! About human-induced global warming...and how so untrue it is...a MUST-READ for all science buffs...
Waiting for more wonderful novels from this amazing author...3 cheers to Crichton...

where do u find that much time to read all of those shiv? kidding. awesome collection.
@niranjan: lolz...i just LOVE that guy...hez soooo awesome...cant quite figure out from ur post whether uve read any of his novels...any way, if u havent, DONT waste anytime...grab his BEST...disclosure...
and btw, u in VTech??
@shiv nope working in virginia. not a student anymore. btw whats his genre. i love thrillers with logic.
I've only read a few of his books. The Great Train Robbery is the one I liked best. And I agree that JP the movie wasn't close to the novel... not in the plot, nor the attention to detail!
@raaga: oh okies tahtz so cool...i might visit DC this august before joining my university for fall...hope to catch u there sometime...
@niranjan: the genre is bascially "fiction"...i know thatz too generalized...but as i said, each and every book of crichton's is different...has a different theme...and will get you sucked into the facts about science! you gotto read EACH one of them...
@raaga: ya JP was good as a movie...but nowhere close to the book...but still credit to spielberg and his team to even attempt such a thing...
i heard rumours that state of fear is going to be made into a flick...just cant wait for taht to happen...
Hey... was that post meant for someone else? I don't live in DC. How will you catch up with me there? :)
Niranjan said he's in Virginia... maybe you meant to respond to him and said @Raaga instead :)
