I am Legend by Richard Matheson
Today, after listening to the guys at [ TWIT ], I signed up with Audible. I have been wanting to do that for awhile and after listening to the TWIT crew go on and on, I figured now would be a good time.
Back when the Will Smith movie “I am Legend” was being advertised, I was REALLY excited, since I had read the book years ago when I was in Junior High School, and since I am a Will Smith fan, I thought that was the greatest thing in the world to think that he would be playing Robert Neville.
The movie lived up to my expectations, at least from the standpoint that it was a great movie. It seemed quite a bit different from what I remember from the book though, so I wanted to grab a copy and re-read it. Plus, my favorite group of online geeks were also going to be doing a [ re-read of the book ], so I was looking forward to getting a copy and revisiting the story. Unfortunately, I haven’t had the time to pick up a copy, and actual reading seems like a distant memory these days, so the Audible thing sounded like a good solution.
So, I downloaded the book today and loaded up my iPhone with it, and have gotten through chapter three. So very good. I think I may be spending quite a bit of money on Audible.com…
