Don of the Living Dead by Robert DeCoteau is good fun.  Don is a bit of a jerk; he is sexist, opinionated, set in his ways, and a bit arrogant.  He is not very likeable, but he grows on you.  I loved this book, which commences with Don attending to his regular mid-day visit to the office's handicapped stall.  He hears strange shuffling, and eventually works out that the zombie apocalypse has occurred.  The opening story is truly funny, and actually a bit scary too - I challenge you to not think of the book next time you are in the bathroom and someone shuffles in!  Don becomes an unlikely leader and perhaps even hero as the story progresses.  Good, tongue in the cheek tone, strikes the perfect balance between humor and horror.  I have just bought another one of Mr. DeCoteau's books, because I enjoyed this one so much.
