Let’s just call it official

As you may recall, recently I decided to try and tackle Norman Mailer's The Executioner's Song.

As I indicated in my 2-4-08 update: "I got almost 100 pages into this bitch and just got bored with it. I guess I really don't care enough about Gilmore (or Mailer) to wade through it.

So with having moved on to I Am Legend, I will officially declare myself a pussy. But as my pal Chuck Kinder said, "What's wrong with that? Some of my best friends are pussies."

That being said, so far I'm really digging Legend. Originally published in 1954 it was clearly a huge influence on the zombie movies of George Romero, as well as the work of novelist Stephen King. I've heard both good and bad reviews of the Will Smith movie; however I will form my own opinion once it's released next month. I'm a sucker for good zombie/vampire movies (also looking forward to 30 Days of Night and The Mist) so my inner sucker will likely sway my review.

I thought the movie was good. Haven't read the book; I imagine it's quite different.

Cool. Let me know how you like it.

I, in turn, will update you on my current read:

"Catch me, Catch me!" - by the guy who write the Thomas the Tank Engine sh*t.
