Do any of you have suggestions of books centered in the post-apocalypse? im thinking about going to the library and trying to find a good read, suggestions would be welcomed.

An old one, but somehow a 'must'.
The day of the triffids by John Wyndham. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triffid If you really want the classic post apocalypse: The Crysalids by again John Wyndham. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chrysalids

"The Survivalist" series by Jerry Ahern isn't bad, if very action-centered.

Stephen King's The Stand (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Stand) and Robert R. McCammon's Swan Song (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swan_Song_%28novel%29). Of course, only if you are into horror stuff (although the horror parts are quite minimum here).

Richard Matheson's "I am Legend" was pretty interesting, a while back.

I really liked "Earth Abides", by George R. Stewart. It's very interesting the reconstruction of society afterwards, although I don't really buy some of its ideas. But it is interesting, nonetheless.
I read it some 8 or 9 years back, and I would love to read it again, although I didn't make any effort to find it again. Maybe I should... |
