Finished Crichton's genetics "thriller" in a surprisingly short time. Maybe that's because there was no substance to it. (Oh, snap!) Seriously, it was really more like an essay on the state of modern genetics that he had sort of shoehorned some characters into to illustrate his examples. It was interesting, no doubt--but not a novel.

Now I'm reading The Road to Gandolfo by Robert Ludlum. I'm only a couple of chapters in and I've already laughed out loud more than once. Very funny.
