Welcome, HuffPo readers... take a look at this post on Crichton and then, with your ususal openmindedness, explore the site...He's somehow become a traitor to the Left. His book, State of Fear, has caused quite a stir in the environmental world. They don't call it Science Fiction for nothing, says the Natural Resource Defense Council. Oh, they're pretty angry.
Well, now he's recommended some reading for us and I hope you'll take a look...
