Hello all!
I have a very particular reading recommendation request. I am looking for some good books to read aloud, told in first-person. I have read the following books and really enjoyed them.
The Book of Jhereg by Steven Brust
World War Z by Max Brooks
Day by Day Armageddon by J. L. Bourne
Day by Day Armageddon: Beyond Exile by J. L. Bourne
Het Madden, A Zombie Perspective by Calvin A. L. Miller II
Feed by Mira Grant
Deadline by Mira Grant
Ready Player One by Ernest Cline
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins (I've also read Catching Fire and Mockingjay - they were alright, but the first book was the one I liked the most.)
Even though I have an obvious preference for zombies and sci-fi, I wouldn't be against extending into other genres. The audience is just myself and my fiance, so we're fine with violence/language/sexual content/whatever. I'm basically just looking for good stories told in first-person point of view that alternate between being funny and thrilling/suspenseful/action-packed.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
