Have you read Next by Michael Crichton, Frank. I read it just before I saw Riise of the Planet of the Apes and there's a lot of similarities.

Yes, I liked Next. Have you read Sphere and Prey?

Yes, pretty much read all his books. Once I like an author I tend to buy everything they've wrote. Great loss.

That's how I've been with William Goldman.

I'm at work now, si having to do it by memory now. Follow up to Papillom was Banco I think.I've never read Goldman, I'll have to check him out.

It's because of Goldman that I became an sK fan. If you want to read some Goldman I recommend starting with The Princess Bride, then Magic, then Marathon Man.

 

[champ1966]

Will do, thanks for the heads up. I've definitely seen Marathon Man.
