Chicken Soup for the Soulless

I'm currently reading The Undead and Philosophy

It's brilliant. Several philosophy professors have turned their considerable powers of, well, considering things, to the subject of the undead.

from the introduction:
We can't promise that you'll find any knowledge in here that will serve you usefully when the dead do walk the earth and pry away the boards that you've hammered hastily over your windows, but at the very least, as you succumb to the onslaught of those festering hordes, as their fangs pierce your jugular and thier cold hands rend your flesh, you will have an expanded philosophical vocabulary with which to describe the horror you feel in those last panic-striken moments before you too become one of the legions of the undead.


It's a polar-opposite companion piece to the Max Brooks' equally brilliant and entertianing Zombie Survival Guide

If philosophy is your thing, this is a great buy!
