Do You Live or Die???
I just finished The Girl on the Train, by Paula Hawkins. I die. I definitely die.
If there were a zombie attack and you had to team up with the protagonist of the last book you read, how would it turn out?

I'd be with Bertie Wooster and Jeeves.
Poor Bertram would be for the high jump, by golly, but I bet the undead wouldn't faze Jeeves's first class brain.
"I should only believe in a God that would know how to dance. And when I saw my devil, I found him serious, thorough, profound, solemn: he was the spirit of gravity- through him all things fall. Not by wrath, but by laughter, do we slay. Come, let us slay the spirit of gravity!" - Nietzsche
lucas davenport, the detective from john sandford's prey novels. he's smart, tough, a good shot, pretty clever and gets the job done. I think we'd do well.
Once again, Loka, old buddy, old pal, you show your kindred spiritness. I somehow knew you'd be a Wodehouse man, as I am. No, Jeeves would be valiant and undaunted, and would best any revenant--in time to serve his master tea.
The last novel I read was Dan Simmons' Drood, whose protagonist was a fictionalized Wilkie Collins. He was lily-livered and feckless, and a real toadie to Dickens. He'd definitely get et within the first few paragraphs, so I'm toast. Or a bagel, whatever the head zombie prefers.

Anne of Green Gables. She'd talk any zombie out of any sinister intentions, so I'm in good company. I'd rather have Jeeves, though. Loka's a lucky duck.

Exit, pursued by a bear.
Currently reading a series called Sinister Dexter from the British SF comic magazine 2000 AD. The protagonists are two highly skilled professional gunmen. I should be okay.

Titus Andronicus would be on my team I guess or King Arthur, am reading both 'The Once and future king' and 'Titus Andronicus'
I think I'd live, both able soldiers

I just finished a memoir, "Grace," by Grace Coddington, who's the creative director of American Vogue, so we're dead. Well dressed, but dead.
I dunno, Mona, I think Anne would be as good a company as Jeeves, and you want good company (as well as skills) when facing death and zombies. She would win those zombies over, man! While Jeeves would put them firmly in their place, I think.

I don't read that much fiction, but I have seen Titus Andronicus that Helga mentioned.
With Titus on my side the zombies are not only dead, but they will wish they had never been unborn. Unfortunately, considering what happened to everyone else in that play, I'm probably dead as well.

Although I admit there could be some practical difficulties.
