Just found amid all the political news that my favorite author passed away yesterday. I will miss his complex sci-fi stories and I remember when I got my hands on 'Jurassic Park' I read it three times. When I moved to the United States I was reading 'The Lost World'. All the books that he wrote that I didn't already have were on my Christmas list for this year and I'm right in the middle of 'Next' as I write.
