    World War Z and its follow up The Zombie Survival Guide. I would recommend them to anyone who enjoys this genre.

      Are they serious zombie books? Or more tongue in cheek?

      Serious zombie books, World War Z is an account of what took place in different areas of the world during a zombie apocalypse and the other is just what it's title suggests a handbook to survive a zombie apocalypse. World War Z is the better one

      Very cool. "I Am Legend" is the only other serious, modern undead book or comic I've read, and I liked it a lot. Thanks for the suggestions!

    The most recent book that I read was "Unwholly", which is book 2 in the Unwind series. I liked it so much that I wrote a hub review!

      Oooo! Cool, I'll go take a look, I'm looking for something new and I love series. Sometimes one book just doesn't give you enough time with a good character!

    I've been reading the Debbie Macomber books.  They're a bit girly but they're a quick read and get me in the mood for the holidays.

    I've always been a fan of John Grisham and the books that I've read of his include,"A Time To Kill,""The Client,""The Firm,""The Testament,""The Street Lawyer,""The Rainmaker," and "The Chamber" (which made me reconsider siding with those that are Pro-Death Penalty). 

    "Ford County" did not miss a beat and is every bit as good as his best books, but are a little more easy to digest because they are a collection of short stories based off a fictional place (somewhat like Castlerock for you Stephen King fans out there). 

    You can read one story at a time before bed and be finished in less than a week.

    Most recently I have read The Brotherband Chronicles Book 1: The Outcasts. I would highly recommend it! It's a wonderful read and an attention catching series that draws you in. Couldn't put it down. smile

    GILGAMESH and yes I would recommend the book. I loved it, and yes, we did have to read it for class, but still loved it, such a great read. Everybody should read it.

      Cool, I've heard of Gilgamesh the legend but I didn't realise there was a specific book. Do you remember the author?
