Talking about fiction, my favorite author is Michael Crichton. I have read most of his works in books, except the Great Train Robbery, which I watched it from the movie. His works amused me, From Andromeda Strain to AirFrame. Every book he wrote have a different story with different categories(except Jurassic Park with The Lost World). Most favorite book I liked was one of his book that was not familiar at the first time it published: The Sphere. It gave me astonishment why Crichton could imagine out something like this. The story is about that a Space Craft was discovered under the deep sea in the center Pacific, but the "Space Craft" have slept there at least for 300 years, therefore a group of scientists went down into the deep place under the Pacific Ocean, to begin their investigation. But something strange happened... (buy the bookif you want to know more, or watch the film Sphere)
