Just listened to the audiobook of Richard Matheson's 'I Am Legend' - fabulous story. Although I watched the movie and thoroughly enjoyed it, the book is incredible in its own right. The feeling of loneliness, not just as a state of mind but practically being the last man of his 'kind' on Earth, moves me so much that I feel for the protagonist. Matheson's compelling words combined with the depth of the narrator's voice made the story so forceful that I will remember this book for a lifetime. One of the most chilling and inspiring stuff I ever came across.
