Post Apocalyptic Books!
 

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.

Right now i only know too look for 2 books;

World War Z and George Orwells 1984

Terry Brooks does a series on a post apocalypse. But it contains fantasy too so maybe not what you're looking for.

An old one, but somehow a 'must'.
The day of the triffids by John Wyndham.

If you really want the classic post apocalypse:
The Crysalids by again John Wyndham.

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

ill have to read the Crysalids next year for school anyways :p its part of the curiculum for some reason :p so i wont bother gettign that from the library, but everything else sonds good, keep them coming :)

I hear The Road by Cormac McCarthy is a good post-apoc book.

Link at Amazon.co.uk

McCarthys books are hard to read though, ive read al lthe pretty ponies, the crossing, and no country for old men...

All of 0 punctuation!

he is a good author though

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...
