Dark Advent - Virus
The Road - ????
A Canticle for Leibowitz - Nuclear War
On the Beach - Nuclear War

Earth Abides - Disease
One Second After - EMT

My disaster preparedness (I live in an earthquake zone) supplies have doubled as of late!

Most of the books I've read have been pre-apocalyptic.

Not so much post-apocalypse, but dystopia is a genre I've been getting into lately.

I liked "The Passage" and "The Twelve" by Justin Cronin.

I have to admit I found Blindness so disturbing that I couldn't finish it.

Then definitely do not see the movie!

And am currently well into One Second After. This one is really spooky since a lot of experts think that it's not a matter of if it will really happen, but that it's when it will happen.

Quick question, what is the normal scenario in these books that sets up an apocalyptic scenario. Is it World War and natural disasters etc or something more creative?
