Last night my boys were watching Jurassic Park on TV, and it dawned on me that I had never read Michael Crichton's book. I saw the movie when it came out, and I enjoyed that very much. Perusing my bookshelves, too my surprise, I found that I actually owned a copy of the book, which I probably picked up at some used book sale or other. I now think this will be my first reading project of 2014.
