One of the best selling authors of our day has passed-on. Michael Crichton wrote Jurassic Park, The Andromeda Strain, and created ER during his 66 years on this earth. He wrote under numerous pen names, graduated summa cum laude from Harvard, and was ultimately a great contributor to both the literary and film worlds. Ultimately he wrote at least 30 books, was involved with 15 movies and TV shows, and even a couple of computer games. Most of you will remember him not only from the aforementioned projects but also from Congo and Twister. Great man that wrote some hella great stories.
