I finished reading "I am legend" by Richard Matheson this morning. I wondered why it was called that, now, I know.  I find myself with one question, a thought. Is this were the idea of describing people as legend begins. If so then it is a misunderstanding, as Robert Neville's understanding would place himself as the last of his kind a complete and utter scourge to what is coming next in the development of mankind. I guess that calling someone legend now may carry a different meaning now. Just wonder where it began. But not interested enough to find out.

However a book I ordered has arrived and now I read it Shadow Ops: Control Point by Myke Cole. Started it already!

Dyslexia is a good thing in my life hope it is in yours, have a great day.

so It is not just about reading books sometime it is about having books books that lift and inspire you to be better and sometimes that is just in your own head. There is one place I have not blogged about that is a total wonderful source for books, yes the library. Are you a member of one? I am a member of two different ones. I have set days of the week when I go. Wednesday and Friday library days. it is where I get to test drive books and yes I have found great books and then gone and brought them they were that good. usually they are design books the ones in the upper price range. So anyway as reading to, I am working my "I am legend" what a fabulous bleak book I have not read such brilliant hope stealing words as these in an age, just when it should lift you it brings another level in the pit that Robert Neville is in. I am learning that both the movies based on this story were far to hope filled!! Still some of the pictures are library books some are the ones I bought. Dyslexia is a good thing I like being one. have a good day

Still loving the internal bleakness that inhabits Robert Neville, all the things which have become cliches in Zombie tales are here. All of them done better here than any of the films. Find this story, "I am legend" by Richard Matheson. Some of the old stories are the good ones. New is not aways better or even an improvement!! So read something old today, I am also reading Winstone Churchill  "The Gathering Storm" Volume 1 of Six on the Second World War. I knew so little about this when I thought I knew so much. Then the old story written in stone. Quite literally celtic crosses from tomb slabs very different to the ones that are standing. Such fun to think about, difference and how it comes to exists. Dyslexia is a jolly fine thing, I like it very much. Have a good day enjoy.

So this Richard Matheson, my goodness, he totally captures aloneness, rather than loneliness "I am Legend" is better then either of the movies it has spawned. So go and find the book, I have read many books in my life but this is better than those books that are about, being a teenage boy and not fitting into the world. This is far more about a world that changes and leaves a man behind with no place or chance to fit. I am liking this one to. But then why waste time on books you don't like or enjoy. Life is to short for that, but not long enough to fully explore the delights of dyslexia. Have a great day, it could be your turn.

So as my night reading I an reading Malowe's Faust. That is fun enjoying that an oldie but a goodie. For fun I am also having watched "The Omega Man" with Charlton Heston,  Then Will Smith in the remake retelling whatever they call it these days, "I am Legend"  So I have tracked down a copy of Richard Matheson's original story. Like it so for a great first paragraph, will finish that one today. Then something new tomorrow. It is the original story but with the Will Smith Movie Cover.  Have a good and remember dyslexia is quite a cool way to look at the world.
