I Am Legend by Richard Matheson

My review

rating: 5 of 5 stars
Very different from the movie, but the movie was quite enjoyable and touched on some of the greater themes of the main story.

When all the world changes, is the only man left alive still a man or is he a monster? Is humanity motile or static? Are we our history or our genes?

Good science fiction. Highly recommended.

In the Days of the Comet by H.G. Wells

My review

Reading Utopian novels during a time of unrest is... interesting. Are we really better off now than the masses of HG Wells' time? Have we really learned anything since then? Or have we just shifted the problems and discontent to a new stage?
