Ever read On the Beach? Another classic post-apocalyptic novel. I had a terrible time reading the last chapter because of all of the tears streaming down my face. One of only a handful of novels to do that to me.

The Road and parts of Pet Cemetery being a couple others. (reading the latter about a month after Sherri was born was a mistake in hindsight)

Some other great PA books I've read:

The Stand
Swan Song
I Am Legend
World War Z
Lucifer's Hammer
One Second After
Wool
Childhood's End
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep
Blindness
Earth Abides
