LICHTMAN: It was like - I love fiction, and it was fiction, but with all my favorite characters. I mean.įLATOW: You don't have to worry about the accuracy. I think I was either being snooty or because we cover the nonfiction, and so I'm thinking like, oh, you know, what does sci-fi, you know, bring to the table for me since I get to hear about science all the time on our wonderful program? And what I learned was that it's so much more exciting when you fictionalize it. LICHTMAN: I am a sci-fi convert after the book.įLATOW: Oh, so you don't usually read sci-fi. Let's go - let's get right to the meat of it. I didn't know that about - I learned that via Wikipedia this morning.įLATOW: Well, OK. I couldn't put it down.ĪNNETTE HEIST, BYLINE: It was hard to put down, and it's by Michael Crichton, we should say, also known for "Jurassic Park" and for you younger-ish folks, "ER." I was thinking of 300 and something-odd pages, but I, you know, in one sitting, was halfway through. And this month, we had a page-turner, "The Andromeda Strain."įLATOW: It goes very quickly, that book, doesn't it? Poof.
