Goes without saying....That book is required reading....Max Brooks is the man
It was this book and World War Z that sparked my interest enough to pick up WD!
And Brooks is really funny guy too. When he was in town for a con last year, I got my set of these books signed and a set signed for a buddy. When Brooks asked me who the first set was too, I said "Joseph", so he signed it something like "Joseph, don't get bit, Max Brooks." When he asked me who to make the other set out to, me, not thinking said, "to me". He asked my name and then signed them "Always keep an eye out for the Zombies, to me (Jason), Max Brooks"
Needless to say, these occupy a reserved space on my bookshelf (thumbs u
