  • The Martian, Andy Weir and the Ghost of Michael Crichton

    The Martian, Andy Weir and the Ghost of Michael Crichton

    Reading Andy Weir’s brilliant novel The Martian, I was consistently reminded of the work of Michael Crichton, who sadly passed away from cancer a few years ago. That seems like an easy comparison to make (yawn). Crichton was best known for his science fiction (Jurassic Park, The Andromeda Strain, Sphere), and Weir’s novel is clearly in the […]

Following on the heels of the massively successful podcast Serial, the tale of Limetown takes a similar documentary style approach, although this time to a fictional story. The tale begins on February 8, 2004 with a nerve-racking 911 call in […]

  • The Many Covers of John Irving

    The Many Covers of John Irving

    While shopping at one of my local secondhand bookstores this last weekend, I came across a couple of old John Irving novels in the bargain section (side note: Irving, to me, is always a bargain…he gives so much as a writer I’d pay double for his novels). Nothing all that surprising, except that these particular […]

  • All the Bones in the Bag

    All the Bones in the Bag

    A&E wrapped up their production of Stephen King’s “Bag of Bones” last night, a four-hour, two-night mini-series starring Pierce Brosnan. It’s always hard to make entirely fair comparisons between a novel and a filmic adaptation.  This is made ludicrously more difficult when the novel is a whopper, like King’s “Bag of Bones.”  A film or […]
