I wrote an article this week about Westworld, a new HBO original series. I was hooked by the first two episodes and started looking into the premise of the show. It is a remake of a 1973 film directed by Michael Crichton (who also wrote the book). Crichton is the author and director of several popular and well-known pieces, mostly Science Fiction. He has a knack for the cautionary tales of our machines enslaving us. He is the author of Jurassic Park and The Lost World. In 1994 he had a film, a TV show, and a book topping the charts (Jurassic Park, ER, and Disclosure.) He wrote Eaters of the Dead, later made into the film The 13th Warrior. He went to Harvard to study English and found that one of his professors just didn't get his writing style. Thinking the professor was either messing with him or wasn't reading what he turned in, Crichton tested it. He submitted an essay by George Orwell under his name and received a B- on it.

Shortly after, he changed his degree and continued on to medical school. He wrote a book about his travels, titled Travels and in my opinion he is a certifiable genius. After his death in 2009, Pirate Latitudes was published. Another manuscript found on his computer will be published in May 2017 called Dragon Teeth. His website is pretty interesting. He also wrote the screenplay for one of my favorites, Twister. Like, seriously, this guy is

my hero. He's a role model for writers and filmmakers. 
So where do I begin reading? Do I begin with controversial Disclosure about sexual harassment? Or Timeline that travels back in time to the Middle Ages in France? Perhaps Rising Sun, an international best-selling crime thriller? Or do I crack open Jurassic Park and enter into a world of dinosaurs? My bookworm heart is warm and fuzzy thinking about it.
