Reddit reviews Micro: A Novel

You should read Michael Crichton's "Micro". It isn't exactly "working together with insects to survive" but more of surviving insects when you're microscopic.

Check out Drood by Dan Simmons. I picked it up on a whim, and couldn't be happier that I gave it a chance. It's a total trip, and suspenseful in a laid-back / behind-the-scenes sort of way.

Also, I find anything by Michael Chrichton to be utterly "un-put-downable". I'd recommend starting with Congo or Prey, but definitely give Sphere a shot before you move on.

Edit: Sorry I meant Micro instead of Prey. Prey was "meh" but Micro is great. Also definitely check out Timeline! (Sorry, I'm basically obsessed with Chrichton)

Shadow of the Wind, by Carlos Ruiz Zafon, is another favorite of mine. But, it's been so long since I last read it that I can't really remember why. I'm going to be rereading that one again soon.

Michael Crichton books are always a good bet -- [Terminal man] (http://www.amazon.com/Terminal-Man-Michael-Crichton/dp/006178267X) and [Micro] (http://www.amazon.com/Micro-Novel-Michael-Crichton/dp/0060873175/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1376689097&sr=1-1&keywords=micro+michael) are fantastic and speedy reads.

[Mary Roach] (http://www.maryroach.net/) - writes non-fiction titles based around her interests. Consider Stiff and Gulp for your reads.

[Alan Bradley's] (http://www.amazon.com/Alan-Bradley/e/B001JRTK5O/ref=sr_tc_2_0?qid=1376689204&sr=8-2-ent) books are fun murder thrillers where the detective is a spunky 11ish year old with a knack for poisons and investigating murders. There are six books in the series and it should still be ongoing (unless something happens)

If you want something a little deep try [Kate Atkinson's Life after Life] (http://www.amazon.com/Life-After-Novel-Kate-Atkinson/dp/0316176486/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1376689325&sr=1-1&keywords=life+after+life+kate+atkinson).

Hope these help!

Crichton's last book he was writing. Quite bad. I really REALLY hope the point where the main character is killed was after the point that Richard Preston took over after Crichton died.


Wait, you're pretending it doesn't exist, that's it!

Giant Huntsman Spiders.... Giant Bugs....

You should all read Michael Crichton's "Micro."
