readers advisory for all discussion

This readers group was highly recommended to me by one of it's members. I'd like to read a book about zombies - humorous to start with. Any suggestions?

well, for humorous, there is Jesse Petersen's series, of which there are three: Married with Zombies
Flip this Zombie
Eat Slay Love

there is also My Life As a White Trash Zombie and

The Zombies of Lake Woebegotten

aaaand that's all from the top of my head, but i will let it simmer

You might also like Zombie Haiku: Good Poetry for Your...Brains. I didn't love it but some of my friends thought it was pretty great.

Zombies vs. Unicorns was fun. Short stories by various YA authors.

I haven't read it, but Night of the Living Trekkies looks fun, too.

This might be too obvious of a suggestion, but there's Pride and Prejudice and Zombies!

oooooooo good one. I heard that Pride and Prejudice and Zombies was excellent. Of course all my friends who love this classic gasped very loudly -- tee hee..

I loved Pride and Prejudice, and enjoyed the zombies in the new one. But I'm not a purist in anything.

There's Warm Bodies, about a zombie who isn't really into all that eating brain stuff and falls in love with a human. I'm not sure it's humorous as such, but I think it's funny in between. I haven't read it yet myself though.

And World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War. A friend recommended this to me. I think it's a collection of small stories, designed to give brief glimpses into the apocalypse. I haven't read this one either, but from the reviews it seems it's humorous at times.

There's also So Now You're a Zombie: A Handbook for the Newly Undead which I found quite funny. A very quick read and works as a sort of sidepart to The Zombie Survival Guide: Complete Protection From the Living Dead. Just to have all sides covered.

Warm Bodies is really really good--funny and sweet and weird. I would definitely start with this one!

What about Breathers? Isn't that supposed to be lighthearted? I haven't read it.

yes, breathers is comical. more so than world war z, from my memories of it. but wwz is a better book, overall.

I enjoyed Warm Bodies! And it's going to be a movie with the boy from About a Boy (I know he has a name but I never remember it and I don't feel like looking it up at this moment). Also, Isaac Marion looks like a young Paul Rudd, which endears him to me even more than his sweet zombie love story.

I just added this to my to-read list: Dearly, Departed by Lia Habel. It is a zombie story set in Victorian-times (my fave!)

"...Can Cupid’s arrow pierce the hearts of the living and the dead—or rather, the undead? Can a proper young Victorian lady find true love in the arms of a dashing zombie?"

Ew. A Dashing zombie? This is either going to be really dumb, or really great...

I second breathers and warm bodies

Day by Day Armageddon
Can You Survive the Zombie Apocalypse?

but does max brooks come back the next day to give me presents because I harassed him about when his next book is coming out? I think not.

i am just adding some of these titles into html.

Zombies Vs. Unicorns
Zombies! Zombies! Zombies!
Night of the Living Trekkies

but while i am here, Pat the Zombie: A Cruel (Adult) Spoof is wonderful, although by no means a novel.
