I have read many of his books over my life, from my teenage years until now, and I recently went back to reread one of the old and good ones that I first read a good three decades ago.  Rising Sun mixes a murder, a cover up, a whodunit, and a travelog all in one.  It is impossible to read a Crichton book without learning something, even when it is a reread.  It\u2019s really just an amazing book, and is just as relevant now as it was when it was written.  Crichton wrote timeless stories, and we are a poorer world without him writing more of them now.  I loved it again, just as much as I loved it before.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Michael Crichton is a perennial favorite author of mine.
