Now this was definitely something I wasn't expecting to hear. Author Michael Crichton unexpectedly passed away in Los Angeles at the young age of 66. A rep issued a statement saying he died after a "courageous and private battle against cancer."

Michael wrote the book to one of my favorite movies growing up a little film called "Jurassic Park." He was also the author of such thrillers as "Disclosure," "The Andromeda Strain (good movie)," "Sphere," and "Congo." I can go on and on. In addition to writing books, Michael also created "E.R" and was an executive producer on the show.

He is survived by his wife and daughter.

I can't really think of any other author who's books were consistently made into good movies. He was a talent that will be truly missed. Rest in peace, Michael....
