I can't get enough of Richard Matheson. My favorite collection of his is Duel while my favorite novel is (quite obviously) I Am Legend. I can't believe they messed up the Will Smith version so horribly. I thought it was a fantastic movie, and it made me want to read the book. When I was finished with the book, however, the movie was just disappointing. No one can do horror quite like Matheson.Originally Posted by MonteGss

The man in black fled across the desert,
and the gunslinger followed.
I don't know about that; I thought that The Omega Man was done fairly well, considering they changed around the plot a bit.They've done a less than stellar job with EVERY adaptation of I Am Legend.

Wow...I just read the original Planet of the Apes. I guess I never realized the story was that short.
The Tardis (Time And Relative Dimension(s) In Space) duh!
Just about to open Lisey's Story. Could this book be anymore....er....flowery. I almost didn't take it to work, because the cover is going to draw lots of attention. haha.
Since it is one of only 3 or so SK's that I haven't read, I thought that I would read it before the Constant Reader's thread for it comes out. (So that I can bash it with everyone else without reserve)

Halfway through book three of The Elric Saga, by Michael Moorcock. It's nice to have a re-read of a series that I haven't read in over a decade...almost like a fresh, new book.
Elodin: "Tombs is for feckless twits who can't chew their own food. My boy's a Re'lar! He has the feck of twenty men!"
Kvothe: “Books are a poor substitute for female companionship, but they are easier to find.”
Simmon: ”It’s just ointment in case you get burned...but if you mix it with piss, it turns into candy.” Sim’s expression was deadpan. “Delicious candy.”
Yes, I'm reading it now and I've already heard about the cover from my co-workers.I'm going to finish it, but so far I'm disenchanted.

Lisey's Story is a lot better than I thought it was gonna be. Starts slow, but keep at it.
Reading Dreamsongs II by GRRM right now. Loving it.
"So many vows. They make you swear and swear. Defend the King, obey the King, obey your father, protect the innocent, defend the weak. But what if your father despises the King? What if the King massacres the innocent? It's too much. No matter what you do, you're forsaking one vow or another."
It was a good movie. It just wasn't the movie that story deserves.I don't know about that; I thought that The Omega Man was done fairly well, considering they changed around the plot a bit.They've done a less than stellar job with EVERY adaptation of I Am Legend.
I don't know, deer hunting with an AR from the driver's side of a GT500 is pretty bad ass.They've done a less than stellar job with EVERY adaptation of I Am Legend.
Yes, I have read and do own the book.

I'm not gonna' say it doesn't have entertaining moments, but it was a bit of a disappointment for me.
I'm chipping away at it. Still.

I can't believe I've waited this long to read Lord of The Rings ...
[face_shame]
LoL Feve read The Silmarillion
The Tardis (Time And Relative Dimension(s) In Space) duh!
I actually have that book at home, but it's waiting for me to finish the trilogy first
Just started Douglas Adams' The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy for the first time. Finished Horns, which I really loved and enjoyed.
I regret leaving my soul
I forgot I needed it, to feel
maybe when I die
I'll just grab it real quick
Awesome. Let me know what you think of it. I love that series.

Well, I finished Dan Simmons' Black Hills last night and overall was a bit disappointed. Somehow, after The Terror and Drood, I expected more.
Spoiler:
Overall, not the best Simmons book, but worth the read.

Reading Summer Knight by Jim Butcher. His books get better with every installment.
I have many leather bound books.
I'm kind of a big deal.
