Who are some of your favorite "pulpy" authors? (lemmy.world)

With the 30th anniversary of Jurassic Park (film) having just passed, I've had Michael Crichton on my mind. I was introduced to him with Prey in middle school (undoubtedly a little early for the material) and I consider his work to be hugely influential in my love for reading today.

Bearing in mind at the end there he got a bit controversial, I still love almost every Crichton book I've read and have a few cherished copies of Prey and Airframe in my collection (IMO an underrated title in his backlist).

Are you a Michael Crichton fan and if so which titles do you most enjoy? Who are some other pop fiction authors you enjoy or consider guilty pleasures?

I enjoyed Robert Ludlum for a while.

Very nice! I see he wrote the Jason Bourne novels. My partner is a total ham for those types of books, do you have any specific recommendations or is the Bourne series perhaps the best way to go for Ludlum?

Go with the Bourne novels, they are so different from the movies that he will really enjoy them.

Awesome, thanks! It will also give him an excuse to re watch the movies haha.
