I can only say that I highly recommend reading anything by Harlan Ellison, though most people seem to know him for his short story "Repent Harlequin, Said the Tick Tock Man".

_I am Legend_ is awesome, and I think you'd like it. Ignore every single movie EVER made based on it.

And _The Stars My Destination_ is an awesome book. I had a model rocket named after the main character, because that's the kind of dork I am. :)

Love you!

Wendy
