A great story by a great author. The movie Last Man on Earth starring Vincent Price is based on I am Legend. A lot of movies are based on his work. I'd suggest trying A Stir of Echoes next. The Kevin Bacon movie is based on that book.

I'll have to check the book out. I Am Legend was the first book by that author I've read. Will definitely read him again.

I've just started reading The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson.

Picked up the Witcher books because I want to get caught up and more immersed for when the Witcher 3 game comes out, did not read them. Started reading the first book today, and I am pretty impressed with this writer. I played the games and did look into the storyline and world of the witcher. But the books, or the book is pretty dam good, I expected something like this, as in the game you have all kinds of things blindsighting you and the world and story is not clear cut.

But I did not expect the whole flipping things on there head. For instance in the very first book in the beginning chapters you have a whole scene were it comes our of nowhere and is part of the witcher story, but your reading it and your like " wait a minute, hold up! This sounds familiar, 7 dwarfs you say? And a princess and woodsman and evil queen? This all sounds so dam familiar?"

The guy has a way of turning things on there head I admit. Suffice to say, you have the witcher, Geralt eventually having a swordfight with what is essentially that worlds version of snow white, and she ain't quite normal, but then again considering the other things so far in the story shes as normal as they come. Its pretty hilarious and pretty somber and pretty freaking real, and sad, all at the same time.

I am hoping to get more into the books by the time the game comes out. But thats probably not going to happen as I dont read all that much anymore and dont even have the time for it, and when I do, I find it difficult to concentrate on any one thing. But as far as stories and books go, so far its a page turner.
