I'm puting this in as almost a private joke. !! Make sure to read the books previous if you're new to the series!! It's just that I cried so hard reading this book that my husband told me I couldn't keep reading the series, if I was going to act like this.
I Am LegendI Am Legend by Richard Matheson

Before Will Smith, there was this book. Poor Robert Neville, and his weird neighbors!! There is also some great short stories.

Lots of good crying scenes, but you'd expect that from an Oprah's Book Club book! Besides that, there's an intricate story and complex characters (Grandma's my favorite).

Yes, if the book was good enough to make a movie, you know the book is better. Don't miss!

Buy new: $10.04 / Used from: $0.01
Oh my Pete! Some of these stories had me crying my contacts out! My husband actually bought this book, but I was the one that read it. Notice it's the only non-fiction book. I typically only read fiction, so enjoy this blip I found off my normal radar.
