I’ve never read Richard Matheson’s I am Legend. It seemed like good Halloween-season reading, but I was already reading five other books at the time.

Then I realized I could download the audio book. That worked out well since I have to spend a lot of tedious time trying to rehab this never-ending frakking hip injury in between bouts of even less fun bursitis. The unabridged version is less than 6 hours long, which works out well since it’s soon to be a major motion picture (again), this time starring [tag]Will Smith[/tag].

It’s been adapted twice before, being uber-nerds we might even re-watch them both before the new one opens on December 14th. The previous incarnations starred Vincent Price(Last Man on Earth)and Charlton Heston (The Omega Man).
