Day 14-Altar of Eden

I'm reading this new James Rollins book about genetic engineering called "Altar of Eden." Pretty good so far, but not grabbin' me by the balls like some of his others have. I dunno, it seems a lot like "The Black Order" as far as 'hey we're taking genetic engineering too far and creating superintelligent breeds of animals and OH WHOOPS looks like they got out and are eating people, so now we have to send out peeps to kill everyone who witnessed it and OH WHOOPS looks like some pretty smart scientists and ex-government officials got involved and are harder to kill than we thought oh shit.'

I think that sums it up pretty well.

Basically after reading "Blasphemy" by Douglas Preston (a group of crack scientists using the world's largest hadron supercollider discovers...God? OH MY) everything seems less awesome. I mean, like, the stuff I've read has been really really great, but "Blasphemy" was totally out there and incredible. Even though I suspected the ending. IT WAS SO GOOD. Shit blew my MIND. Oh yeah and then I read "The Machiavelli Covenant" and that blew my mind AGAIN.

I actually almost forgot to take a picture today so that's why it's just a blank wall--I'm just sitting in bed.
