I was totally amazing. I though about reading it again before I started Storm of Swords, but I'd been putting it off to long as it was. And I agree, it does sound like the name of a straight-to-video Steven Segal movie.

yeah, for some reason i was thinking terrorists. i cant stand that 911 crap. or that it was a movie like about government shootemups or something. glad i just gave it a shot.

another one i read recently that was really fun was the andromeda strain. wtf! i had NO idea it was written in the 70s or something. then i found out there was a movie and then watched it a bit after..equally as old and looked dated. but yeah, talk about crazy. sounded like a 90s/2000 book to me. i was pretty shocked.

Another classic. Pretty sure he wrote it when he was in med school. I've got Prey laying around here somewhere, but I haven't gotten to it yet.

after i downed a few of his books... i even gave another go at ER.

i guess its not AWFUL... he did know what he was doing.. ok it was alright. sometimes. hated that curly haired chick though. mackerel face.

unfortunately, i never got to finish the dvds.

i might have picked up prey as well. never got to it if i do have it. thrift store city.

Re: What's the last book you read ?

I remember watching ER a little when I was growing up, but I completely lost interest in it when I got a little older and stopped watching whatever the rest of my family was watching. Prey is about Nano-Technology and Artificial Intelligence potentially destroying mankind if I remember correctly. Still gotta read it.

 

[squallumz]

Re: What's the last book you read ?

yeah, something about little robots or something weird. again, i may be presently surprised.

we shall see.

ive yet to touch his non-fiction. oh oh, i read congo recently too. am i wrong or do his endings seem similar at times?

rising sun was my first crichton book. read it at sea in one night during night watch. a fun book as well.

oh and did really enjoy sphere. they did alright with the movie too. good casting in general. except queen latifa. wtf was that?

 

[TheSpokenWheel]

Re: What's the last book you read ?

I liked Congo, but I was a little disappointed in the ending. Like I was waiting for something strange to happen. Turns out they were just gorillas that were killing machines.

Sphere was excellent. I was a little nervous about it because the movie was a little "meh" IMO, so I thought the whole story might be similar. I loved it though. As far as Queen Latifa goes... at least you got to see her get mauled by giant jellyfish.

Re: What's the last book you read ?

50 points to the jellyfish!
