are you open for manga, if you are then I'll give you some manga options

The Rising, City of the Dead, Urban Gothic, Ghoul. I plan to get more of course.

If you want some truely awesome zombie books, check out The Zombie Survival Guide and World War Z.
The Zombie survival guide is like a wilderness survival guide but with zombies.
World War Z has a bunch of short stories about a world wide zombie outbreak.

YOU KNOW WHAT I TOLD YOU:
THE HUNGER GAMES TRILOGY.
GET EM!

I'll second Salvatore, as I like him too. I only read his Drizzt books (he has other Forgotten Realms books as well as some of his own stuff) up until the Hunter's Blades trilogy because I got tired of his writing by then and didn't find his new books as good as his old ones.

One advantage of Salvatore is that he comments a fair but on what has previously happened when it comes to particular events, so one can pretty much pick up any book of his and not be too lost no matter where in the series it is.

My favourite Drizzt book is The Silent Blade. Though for that one is it good to have a bit of a background.

Salvatore also wrote a five book series called "The Cleric Quintet" about a priest named Cadderly who also appeares in his other books from time to time. Many people I know think the Quintet is better than his Dark Elf books. It comes in an omnibus version, as well as the single books. The first one, Canticle, tends to be the hardest to find in my experiences though they've all been reprinted since I last read them.

For my own part, two of favourite books of all time, and relatively short and easy to read, are Frankenstein, or the Modern Prometheus by Mary Shelley, and All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque.

If you happen to pick up Frankenstein and read the preface, don't let it scare you. There's rumour it was written by Percy Shelley adn it shows it. It's something of a pain to get through but the book itself is quite easy. I'd love to read more Erich Maria Remarque books but finding anything other than All Quiet that isn't either German or really expensive hardcover edition is proving very difficult. I've been keeping an eye out for years and have only found one other that I've yet to read, and I found that in my mom's massive book collection while sorting it.

I don't know about any zombie books but I happen to like these books that I read recently.

The Dome - Stephen King (so far my favourite S.K. book. It was SO good.)
The Stand - "

Deception Point - Dan Brown

If you haven't read it already A Wrinkle In Time. That one's awesome :)

I have a few that are intersting.
Kathren Lasky's Wolves of the Beyond series, the Dune series, there's the Amber series too, and er..if you want more just ask.

I can't think of any book you'll be interested in...but as for World War Z I didn't particularly enjoy, personally. I read a couple chapter in while I was bored at Target. I like how they, unlike Walmart employees, leave me be to read their stuff without buying xD When I go to Walmart I typically have an employee, then a manager, circle me like vultures. It's both amusing and unnerving.

How about How to kill a mocking bird? That's a pretty Interesting book I recommend you to read. c;

then:

Bizenghast
Broken Angel
Comic Party
Drama Con
Deadman Wonderland
The Dreaming
FLCL
Goth
Hellsing
I Luv Halloween
King of Thorn
Le Portrait de Petite Cossette
Me and My Brothers
Million Tears
Pandora Hearts
Soul Eater
Tarot Cafe
Vampire Doll

I adore Bryce Courtenay's works. It goes into a more realistic light.

My favourite was 'Sylvia' - based on the pied piper. He's actually gay. The main character is an intelligent girl who starts questioning the church and feminism as well as other things with the Crusades as the backdrop.

Some Zombie Books I recommend:

- Monster Nation by David Wellington
- Monster Island by David Wellington
- The Zombie Combat Manual: A Guide to Fighting the Living Dead by Robert MA

I skimmed the 2 pages and didn't see these mentioned.

House Of Night Series By P.C Cast
Alex Cross - James Patterson
Double Cross - James Patterson
Women's Murder Club (Series of Books) - James Patterson
The Adventures of Huckleberry fin -Mark Twain
The Diary of a Young Girl - Anne Frank
The Odyssey - Homer
The girl With the dragon tattoo (Series)

Have you read the Hunger Games trilogy yet?

I am the manry-est of men!

have you ever read books such as the:
house of night series by pc and kristen cast
Vampire Acemdamy by Richelle mead?
These series have interested me and i think you may enjoy them :)

I need a book to read any suggestions? Manga's or novels will do just fine. So I can have a book to read for fun.

These aren't zombie books, but they are still wonderful books to read. I don't think the publisher sells hard copies though, so you might have to look on Amazon or the like for them.

Master of None andMaster and Apprentice by Sonya Bateman. The novella that comes between the two is also pretty nice, it's called The Getaway. I couldn't put any of these books down until I finished them! There might also be an audio book out there somewhere...
