I've got Rot and Ruin and Risen ready to go.

What would be my best bet for something with a bit of action but also is kind of thoughtful and character oriented?

Hey man...look back in this thread a bit...I posted some info about a few books from Jonathan Maberry. Quite great reads with very strong characters IMO. The Joe Ledger series is terrific - the prequel, Book 1 and Book 3 of the series deals with zombies [well, zombies are in them, but I won't go into more details about the specifics...]

Highly recommended from me FWIW!

I'm excited for it, and hope that they can put in some of my favorite scenes like Yonkers, Battle of Hope, the mansion event during The Great Panic, and maybe Christina Eliopolis' "Sky Watcher" episode. However, I wish they were doing more of an HBO mini-series or something rather than a feature film.
Oh man, thanks! Didn't know this about WWZ. I do hope they keep the episodic nature of the book intact, with all the different stories of individual struggles with WWZ zombies...

Nothing against the usual zombie film fare, but a more thoughtful zombie film treatment would be welcome by me.
