Hmm, you read the Dexter books? Eli’s best friend Matt has forced me to start watching the first two seasons of the show, which he has on DVD…I’d like to read the books but I’m not really sure if the subject material would turn me off the character. What did you think?
OH! AND you read I Am Legend? Had you read it before? Richard Matheson is my favorite author. If you liked I Am Legend, read Bid Time Return and What Dreams May Come, although you probably already saw the movies.
Sigh. I love Richard…
I haven’t seen the Dexter show yet. I am going to netflix it one of these days. And I only read the first two books. They were good but I just couldn’t get in the mood to read the third and I haven’t bothered to get it from the library again and read it. I liked them and and the character of Dexter is still pretty likeable despite the fact that he’s a serial killer. I had not read I Am Legend before. I’ll definitely check out more of his work since you recommended it.
