I wonder if his DNA will be cloned to make a new one?

Well, hell. One bright man, and a fine writer. I've spent many hours with his books. May he rest in peace.

I hope the U of Miss. will add his likeness to a park bench in Oxford like the one that now has a likeness of William Faulkner.
Favorite book? Eaters of the Dead
Wow, that sucks.

Eaters of the Dead was good (The 13th Warrior is a very underrated movie...I like it.) But Andromeda Strain was his best.
He wrote the book that inspired my favorite movie of all time - Jurassic Park.

never read that one, but after watching The 13th Warrior (which I also think is underrated blazr) i believe i should
I always thought his books like Sphere and Congo were much better than the movies. I hope nobody ever tries to make a movie about Prey, which would undoubtedly suck.

Jurassic Park may have been my favorite, which was awesome in both forms.
Prey was great, as was Timeline.

Most of his movies were hits and some that weren't, I thought should have been.

The Lost World
The Andromeda Strain
Rising Sun
Timeline
Congo
Westworld, needs to be re-made...that would rock.
Runaway...Gene Simmons makes a great villian.
Sphere...Had to read it twice but I think I get it.
Jurassic Park
Twister
