| I've even gone to the extent of reading Arthur Hailey's Airport novel.  the movie is a pretty faithful rendering of it.  For that matter, i read both of the novels that inspired The Towering Inferno.  (The Tower and The Glass Inferno)  As soon as I run across a used paperback copy, I can't wait to read Arthur Herzog's The Swarm.  From what I've heard, it bears little relation to the awesome crapfest that Irwin Allen unleashed on the public. |
