The first novel I ever read was Michael Crichton's Jurassic Park. I loved the movie, read the junior novelization, and then the full book. That begun my life-long love of books. Barnes & Noble released a hardback collection of both Jurassic Park and The Lost World (the latter is still one of the scariest books I've ever read), and the new movie prompted me to return to my roots... on Isla Nublar!
