BOOK: The Lost World

What you read says a lot about you, so I’ve decided to emulate the ‘currently reading’ idea I’ve seen on several other sites. Of course, I’m not yet willing to set it up nicely, so I’ll just start by noting what I’m reading as normal posts, rather than anything more dramatic.

I’m (re)reading The Lost World by Michael Crichton. I needed some mental candy, and a movie screenplay in the form of a book was just the ticket. I couldn’t remember whether I’d read it or not when I was at the library, but I figured it wouldn’t take long either way. Crichton usually puts together a reasonably good story, and only sometimes does the writing get in the way of racing through to the (obvious) conclusion. Most noticeable glitch for me is all the “explanation by dialogue” he includes, but I keep reading.
