Tales of World War Z
A very good read on what would happen in a worldwide Zombie outbreak, and how humans would (evuntully) defeat them and the mistakes made.
The Living Dead
A really big short story collection. Lots of fun.
These are the only Zombie books i've read, and I enjoyed them both.

Anyone read
"PRIDE AND PREJUDICE AND ZOMBIES - THE CLASSIC REGENCY ROMANCE, NOW WITH ULTRAVIOLENT ZOMBIE MAYHEM!"
by Jane Austen & Seth Grahame-Smith.
I can see on IMDB that maybe a movie will be made around 2011.
Sounds cult.

Angra, I picked up P&P&Z, but have yet to read it. Worth it for novelty value alone, though. ;)
I would second the recommendations made above, and add Patient Zero (http://www.amazon.com/Patient-Zero-Joe-Ledger-Novel/dp/0312382855/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1244776442&sr=1-1) by Jonathan Maberry. Aptly described as a "neonoir-thriller" by one reviewer, it's a reality-grounded (kinda... :P) book about Islamist terrorists seeking to unleash a zombie virus on the US, with the covert aid of a billionaire pharmaceutical executive. It's bloody and tense, with just the right amount of black humor throughout.
You may also want to try Day by Day Armageddon (http://www.amazon.com/Day-Armageddon-Zombie-Novel/dp/0978970772/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1244776718&sr=1-1) by J.L. Bourne...
