He wasn't the best author, but he was the go to guy for a book you need to read on a long flight. Or maybe not. Either way, I think we can all agree that the Andromeda Strain was great and Steven King is the worst author to ever consistently hit a best seller list.

Agreed. May he rest in peace.

Andromeda Strain was Crichton's? . . . Yes. How about that.
Sorry to hear of his passing. 66 is not that old anymore.

Indeed, I highly enjoyed most of his novels -- Andromeda Strain, Sphere, The Lost World, Timeline, etc. His more recent works weren't as good as his older pieces for sure, but I still read most of his stuff.

He wrote a lot of crap, but he also had some pretty good stuff back in the day.
Haha, anyone remember the Timeline game (http://www.gamespot.com/pc/action/timeline/index.html?tag=result;title;0)? I never had the displeasure of playing it, but I remember reading about it in a magazine a long time ago and thinking "wtf".

I read Next. The genetic one. It sucked. Jurrasic Park and Sphere were good though.

FACT: the average life expectancy for a male novelist is 30.
