For my independent reading assignment, I chose Airframe by Michael Crichton. I chose this book because Crichton is one of my favorite authors and I want to read more of his books. So far I have read State of Fear, Prey, and Rising Sun, and all of them were excellent. I think that any book by Michael Crichton would be a book I could enjoy.
The main reason that I like Michael Crichton books is that they present a lot of facts about subjects that I find interesting. For example, State of Fear was focused on the subject of global warming. It gave (and cited) a ton of facts about global climate change, and it forced me to think about it. Most books don't do that, so it's nice when one comes along and educates you in an unexpected way.
That's what I'm looking forward to in Airframe. I hope that it can help me learn about airplanes and the travel industry as much as Rising Sun taught me about Japanese business and culture. Here's hoping that the book is good.
