I didn't even know he was ill. He's done some bloody good novels.

And, please, no sick jokes about his 1972 book.

I saw that title, immediately went "Oh gooseberry fool!", then saw the asterisks and thought you were joking, then went in and found out you weren't. Not read any of his books, but obviously seen one of his films. May pick up some once I've finished my current book. RIP.

Wow, what a shock. I had no idea.

...and in the same week that they announce that they can bring back mammoths, Jurassic Park stylee.

Somebody freeze his brain!

Read his book "Sphere". Way better than the film.

Maybe I should change that. Yeah, I think I will. It's a bit unnecessary.

ER, and Jurassic Park. Two of my favourite things.

Hey I hear he wrote Jurassic Park as well.

He wasn't really that great an author but most of his books are enjoyable reads.

You missed whiskers on kittens, and brown paper packages tied up with strings, surely.

Edit: Nuts, you did say "Two of..".
