Thanks guys, I will put The New York Trilogy on my list.

Do you know Robin Cook? He's the writer of the famous Coma, but he's written a huge load of other medical thrillers. I read 2 of them: I really liked Terminal, but was unimpressed by Mindbend.

Yeah, Jurassic Park is amazing. Like Fox 6 says, it's better than the movie. Longer and a better atmosphere.
The Lost World is a decent sequel. The book is a lot better than the movie, although that isn't too hard. I enjoyed TLW a lot more than most of Crichton's other books. Dinosaurs just own jungly gorillas and almost-out-of-space bacteria.

Bube, I don't know any of those you mentioned.
This is the booklist on my MSN space.

Its so refreshing to see that people still read :P. When I was in scholl noone read for leisure at all. ONe time when my school basketball team went on a road trip I pulled out a book and started to read, everyone else literally asked why I was reading and gawked at me like I had leperacy. wtf?

Jurrasic Park and The Lost World are two of my favorite books of all time. I've read JP at least 5 times. I even had to re-buy it because it was getting so torn up. In general, I'm a big Crichton fan: Congo, Andromeda Strain, Sphere, Rising Sun. But I haven't read State of Fear yet.

I'm currently reading Faith of the Fallen by Terry Goodkind. It's the 6th book in the 11 book Sword of Truth series. Widely thought of to be one of the best sci-fi/fantasy series. Heavy reading though, each book is 400-600 pages.

But I might take a break from that series after I'm done with Faith of the Fallen to catch up on the latest Star Wars offerings (mainly the Legacy of the Force line of books, and Outbound Flight).
