I’m sure the Will Smith effect played a role, lol

I Am Legend. The book is dark, brooding, heavy, and psychological. The movie really Hollywood’d it up, completely changing the entire point of the ending.

Great write-up! I also found myself rooting for Lewellyn, but probably for less sophisticated reasons, lol. He is the protagonist, and my brain always seems to honor that construct, especially when it’s a character vs. another character situation. However, your post has made me reflect on his overall likeability.

I finished Till We Have Faces yesterday morning. It’s amazing; I only put it down two times!

Fantastic idea. I will also advocate for the use of YouTube for anything home repair related. I worked as a handyman for a few years, and for many mornings, we sat outside the house watching a YouTube video on whatever we were fixing, lol

That is so kind of you. I will lay the burden upon my family, but thank you for the offer!

Great idea! Your comment is really an ad for the durability of Kindles lol

Have you read the Shady Hollow series?

Those are going to look awesome on your bookshelf!

Whalefall sounds nuts! I’m going to throw that on my TBR list. I hope you get at least one of these!

Toni Morrison. Ugh, her writing puts me in a chokehold

The Grapes of Wrath. I read it in an American Lit class at 19. Of course, I thought it was incredible, but I just finished it this week, now a father of 2, and it hit me so much harder.
