The Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks – Really can’t recommend this book too much or too heartily. It is essential reading for those who wish to survive the coming apocalypse.
Fun interview with the author at EW.com:

“It’s the lack of intelligence that scares the crap out of me. So I wanted my zombies to be as viral as possible. They literally are a walking virus, which you can’t negotiate with. So that was where I was coming from. The hard part was the real-world research, really finding guns that don’t jam, or what you would really need. I did a lot of studying for that, and I really had to think about it.”
