Did my annual re-read of Jurassic Park and The Lost World. I always find some tiny new thing to appreciate about the writing or some philosophical point. Yes it's an annual read, I really think that Crichton captured something essential about science fiction in his time period. Some mix of frankness, fantasy and self-awareness that I find appealing.

I love his books. Jurassic Park took me a long time to get into, but once I got into it I really fell for him hard. He was the author I transitioned off of YA literature to, I owe him a big chunk of my love for books.
