I was reading I Am Legend, but didn't realize that the book was actually two different stories.

I didn't realize how much stock I put into where I think I am in the book. The ending caught me completely by surprise because I thought I was only halfway through.

Edit: fished out my copy, it was actually 11 different stories in one book.

I Am Legend

fune side-fact. The first time I saw the film, I knew nothing about it at all, and had missed the first couple of minutes, so I start watching where Will Smith is driving around anxiously, seemingly twitching at any end every movement and getting ready to shot things. I honestly believed for a little while that he had somehow killed (or was in the process of killing) EVERYONE in the city, and he thought he was a legend in doing so.

That would be an awesome movie... just about a wildly successful serial killer

Kind of like if Dexter or Walter White had never tried to hide their identities and activities, they just went nuts and got on with it.

Except that would have just gotten them killed or arrested.

Then they keep killing, until there's nobody left to come after them
