Too tired to brain. Have an open thread.

I am too tired to brain today. Here; have an open thread. Ask anything, bring up anything, whatever makes you happy (although I ask that you avoid detailed book spoilers—I have forums for that).

I will brain later, but right now, I have the dumb.

So, Feed broke me and now all I want to do is read zombie books. Sadly, the only one I own is World War Z and I've read that a couple times. Any recommendations? (This applies to zombie movies as well, of course.)

If you don't mind another opinion ...

"The Living Dead" (anthology) for a variety of awesome stuff, "Breathers" if you want zombie perspective and a little campiness, and Toothless (comes out Oct 31) for historical/crusade era zombies (I read a review copy, and OH AWESOME, plus it's on the serious side, like WWZ). "Day By Day Armageddon" is also dark, more military minded (main character and author are both military men) and included man vx man as well as man vs zombie. "The Walking Dead" is a great graphic novel, and for that matter so is "Lurkers" (though Lurkers is a one shot and WD is a series, currently being made into a TV show).

Ah, of course I don't mind another opinion! And recommendations are great! The more, the better. And I've read parts of Day by Day Armageddon and really liked it! I'll make sure to check out a lot of these. ♥

Thanks so much!

The Living Dead, The Living Dead 2, and The New Dead (anthologies).
Ex-Heroes, The Morningstar Strain, and Day by Day Armageddon (independent press).
Monster Island, Monster Nation, and Monster World (David Wellington).

If you want YA fun, try You Are SO Undead To Me and Undead Much.

Oooh yay, lots of books! Thanks so much! I'm really looking forward to Feed's sequels too, but alas, I need something to keep me occupied until 2011. ♥

You might enjoy _I Kissed A Zombie And I Liked It_ by Adam Selzer [http://www.adamselzer.com/ ], a ya writer and filker whose books sometimes wind up with their own soundtracks.

That title kind of kills me. XD I'll definitely check that one out.
