Crichton Wins Journalist Of The Year (?)
It's an award usually reserved for actual journalists. But Michael Crichton (author of Jurassic Park, Congo, Sphere, The Andromeda Strain, et al) is an exception. When he writes a book, he completely throws himself into the subject matter, investigating every possible nuance of it until he has a firm grasp. This is why so many of his novels are so engaging. It's nice to see such a talented author recognized for his investigative skills. (Link -- via Fark)
