You're talking to a man who has sat through the movie versions of both I Am Legend and I, Robot (for a second time! Don't ask) within the last two weeks. Perhaps I do not value my time enough.

merry10, I am Legend was a good read. You should add it to your list!
Kiwidoc, Yes, I agree. I have Neverwhere to read and am looking forward to it - especially after watching a dvd of the series made by the BBC. It was a pretty ordinary production, but still a great story.
I read I am Legend last year. I liked it. As for movies of it, I prefer Vincent Price's The Last Man on Earth. I can't remember the Omega Man with Heston. Need to look it up again.
Edit: I just put in a request for Mr. X at my local library.
... If you've read them already, sorry.
Another one you should try if you haven't already is Richard Matheson's novella I Am Legend. Please don't let the TERRIBLE Will Smith movie put you off this one.
The novel is fifty+ years old, but was set in the far future of 1976, so it isn't too, ...

Yes I've read Blaze and loved it, he sure can tell a story that makes you like his characters huh?

I couldn't agree with you more about ...
... Hunt Goes By by John Farris, and What Dreams May Come by Richard Matheson. I became a Matheson fan after reading I Am Legend and reading he was one of King's major writing influences. (elaindroi pointed out John Farris is as well. Thanks! can't wait to read both!)
Great books Judylou! I liked the Handmaid's Tale and American Gods a lot, but I haven't read I am Legend.
Okay, combining a classic novel with Akiva Goldsmith and Will Smith should be a crime. To put it kindly, the Will Smith I Am Legend sucked, big time.
I was okay with changing the setting to New York. I was okay with replacing the vampires with knock-offs from 28 Days Later. But like I, Robot ...

Really good story. If you have seen the movie, you will like the book. A quick read that captures you early on and keeps you reading to the end compulsively! Some of the science is a little bit dated, but that doesn't matter. Recommended.

What did you think of I Am Legend? It is one of my favorite books. If you want to understand the whole post-apocalyptic genre; Legend is a great place to start.

I finished I Am Legend today while sitting in the library waiting for a break in the rain. I loved this book. I did not know it was a collection of short stories, though. I had seen the movie and loved it, then found out that it had been inspired by the Richard Matheson book.

I am finishing up I am Legend, which I was surprised that it's a collection of short stories and the novella, I am Legend. AND two of the stories in this book have inspired movies. "I Am Legend" with Will Smith is the better known of the two, but "Dance of the Dead" is also a movie with R ...

I took one off my wishlist with I am legend by Richard Matheson and also invested in The Penelopiad by Margaret Atwood and When We Were Bad by Charlotte Mendelson.
I was positively surprised by I am Legend. At first I thought the tone was somewhat too cool, but it fits the story and the character and I could really feel his sense of isolation.
I haven't seen the movie - is it worth it?
