I also recently read I Am Legend by Richard Matheson and all three Nathanial Philbrick books (my favo being Sea of Glory). I feel like Sugarpuss should be starting this thread.....where did she go Wally Lamb: "The Hour I First Believed"

It isn't supposed to be a particularly funny book but I found myself laughing a lot when she narrated.

It's one of the few books that truly scare the hell out of me. I loved In the Heart of the Sea by Philbrick but Sea of Glory and Mayflower didn't grab me as much.

Just read Columbine by Dave Cullen, it was excellent.

Every movie version seems to change how completely alone he is, or the setting to something less scary and isolating. That's what gets to me, how alone he is, truly the last man in the world and doomed. I don't know, I guess we just have different tastes.

I thought the fact that he kept getting hard-ons for the zombie/vampire women clawing at his house was just a little bit over the top. It was like the author had just discovered sex - it was like it was written by StudMuffin. I mean, really. Wouldn't a cannibal vampire zombie woman who wants to eat you alive make you go soft, even if just for a minute?

The writing was over the top but the concept at the end was interesting.
