RIP

One of the best writers out there. Some of his best works are Coma, jurassic park and Congo. I have read a few of his books. Most of his books have become movies.

Oh damn. Ya, I liked his work. R.I.P.

Yeah, I've read several of his books. (The books were always better than the movies!) RIP.

Hell yeah! Congo I vividly remember. the movie were nowhere close to how suspenseful and thrilling the book was. But I guess the same holds good for most book vs. movie. Have you read the Ludlum's Bourne series? I have read all three and the movies even though they are very good, dont come close to the novels.
