RE: Thought Bubble Thursdays #12 - Time's Up
That paraphrased it quite perfectly actually haha! Timeline by Crichton? I can't say that I have. I know he's a great sci-fi writer, but I fear that I haven't read that one. Is it any good? Sci-Fi does have that caveat to suspend disbelief haha!
Thank you for the well wishes, brother! If only I knew you personally when we were doing our preps, we would have totally made you the wedding singer! If anything, it at least gets @dreemit to tag along with you haha! Also, I'm still here for a while, it's just this series that's taking a break before I do haha!
Wedding singer? Now that would've been fun! Where would I be flying in to? Hopefully warmer/sunnier than where I live. Rochester Ny- always in the top 5 snowiest cities in the US. Timeline is good. It's not amazing, I wouldn't recommend it first. Jurassic Park, The lost world, Congo- those ones are really good. And even as I say that, I mean, they are really good for Crichton. He wasn't not the best writer, but he had genius innovative sci-fi plots based on real ground breaking science with constant suspense. He even described the internet fairly accurately in Congo, and that book was published in 1980.
The Philippines :D Definitely warmer and sunnier haha! I've read JP, TLW and Congo before, so I could attest to that. I like The Andromeda Strain as well. I do get what you mean about Crichton though haha No matter his ability, he has a great track record when it comes to his work being adapted. That say something!
