It's pronounced Cryton...as I have often argued with a good friend of mine. Michael Crichton is one of the greatest authors I've ever come across. When you walk across a book shelf and reach the C category of books, definitely pick up Michael Crichton's book. You'd love it and perhaps that love for the book would inspire you to make a webpage on him, like I have made...a webpage on Michael Crichton just so people get to know him!
It's not only his style of writing but also his imagination that is awesome. If you have not read Sphere, please do so NOW. It was one of his best books I have ever read...in fact one of the best books I have ever read (and it's not that I read very few of his books) The story is very imaginative and sets your mind thinking about a dozen things. Scientific concepts are explained in intricate detail and yet they are interesting. Michael Crichton brings complex matters that would amaze scientists and puts them in front of everyday readers in the form of simple concepts...and that too amazes the reader. You know what I mean? If you don't, read his books and I'm sure you will.
You can check out his 
and you will see this great persons life. He is just too cool. I have also put up some articles on him...not written by me although I would love to write
on him and when I get the time, I will.
It's for a reason that almost every book of his is made into a movie. Of course the best book made movie of his was Jurassic Park. And nobody can deny that. Such pacy thrilling intense and exciting novels have to be made into a movie. And all his book made movies have done well. Why am I not surprised... If you want to get spooked, thrilled, awed...read Michael Crichton.
Words cannot express the greatness of Michael Crichton. By the way, does anyone know his email address?
