What I have read in the last month. I must admit I'm on an Apocalypse theme lately. My favorite from the group is "Alas Babylon"

I read Swan Song many, many years ago. How was I am Legend? And how did it compare to the movie? No King's The Stand?

Well those were the books I read in the last month.
I read king's stand many years ago. It was ok.

"I am legend" the novella is much better than the movie.

I would say that it is much more emotional and centered about the last man on earth. In the movie the wife and kid are separated from him. In the book she comes knocking at his door after he buries her.
