Rest in peace, Crichton ~

A Case Of Need - I read it when I was about 11. The novel belongs to my brother. Or maybe to one of his friend's. He had written it brilliantly under the name of Jeffrey Hudson. I found the novel yesterday, with dog-eared pages and torn covers, I have plan to reread it in this few days' time. Hails to all the good doctors.

Jurassic Park - I didn't remember when exactly I had put my hands on this book. Not really a big fan of sci-fi, thriller genre myself, but this book had keep me awake all night. A total page turner. I saluted him as Einstein in writing. Genius masterpiece.

Timeline - How on earth he could dig out all the mysterical time travel hard-to-explain science?
I know it's not possible but after reading this, I did secretly wished to go back in the past and rectify all of my silly mistakes and stupid annoying jokes ;)

ER - My favourite show before Grey's Anatomy exist. Aside from drooling over Clooney's sexy smile, Crichton's creation of ER was considered bold and extra-ordinary show of it's own.

I didn't read all of his books [my bad] neither I watched all of his novel-adaptation movies, but for being an excellent writer and thinker, he deserved a simple tribute, right from the bottom of my heart.

I read about his death in the papers and contemplated writing that in my blog. Seems like you beat me to it =P

Anyway, i remember reading "timeline" way back in form 2. It was amazing. I liked it so much, i went looking for more of his books in our (sorry-looking) school library. As you can imagine, they didn't have any. =(

Btw, if you like timeline, i recommend reading Ender's Game! Like timeline, it's one of those novels that grips ur attention long after you've finished reading it. That, to me, is a sign of a masterpiece!

Ironically, I was about to do the same : Obama's win. Hehehe..

Our school library? I wonder if the books collection are still more or less the same :P

Ender's Game sounds interesting. But I am more to Nicholas Sparks, Cecelia Ahern type of book nowadays [don't ask me why ;)] I read Timeline because you happened to have it [I borrowed from you, remember?]

I'll read Ender's Game when I have enough senses knock into my brain. Hahaha..

Hahaha... borrowed from me kah? LOL.. i thought as much. we were in the same class kan F2?

Hmmm... eventhough i'm always talking about love and marriage etc, i'm not a big fan of chick flicks and romance novels (too bad)..

But seriously, read Ender. (even if sci-fi novels arent your thing). You'll thank me!
