I have no comments on today's post, Dezzy, just wanted to say "hi!"
ReplyDeleteHi! My comment today was that I did not know Crichton died a few years ago. Or maybe I did but I forgot.
DeleteThe Kill Switch looks intriguing.
ReplyDeleteI read a lot of Crichton books back in college. I remember hearing he passed away a few years ago- but I don't remember hearing of Micro. Thanks for sharing.

be welcome, hope you will like the film when it comes out, they want to turn it into a potential franchise
DeleteWell, you know I don't mind female leads. I just hope the script is solid, is all.
ReplyDeleteas solid as King's kong, right?
DeleteDidn't like that movie.
DeleteI haven't ever read Michael Crichton, but remember selling a lot of his books when I worked at a bookstore 20 yeas ago. I think Micro sounds interesting.
ReplyDeleteI have his CONGO and I remember reading it in one afternoon feverishly back in High School High :)
DeleteI'll have to add a few of his titles to my summer reading list then. I'd love to find a new (or in this case older) author to fall in love with.
Deletemy advice is to read MY COUSIN RACHEL before the summer hits us, I already bought an old copy :)
