"the road" by cormac mccarthy, and if you haven't read "the stand" by stephen king, that one is good, too! "the fireman" by joe hill, stephen king's son, is also a really good book!
Ooh, one I remember reading and quite enjoying a long time ago (probably over 30yrs!) is Ozone by Paul Theroux.
Dungeon crawler Carl is worth a read
Tender is a Flesh and Bird Box.
Metro 2033 series
Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler. Frighteningly prescient.
Not a classic or anything but I very much enjoyed The Wild Lands, Paul Greci. Very good read about the journey of a teenage boy, his sister, and a group of others from Fairbanks to Valdez to seek refuge in post-apocalyptic Alaska. Highly Reccomend.
The Wool trilogy.
Wool is great. The quality declines in subsequent volumes.

True! It happens a lot in trilogies but it was worth the read.
A great post-apocalyptic series that I enjoyed is The Demon Cycle by Peter V. Brett. It follows a group of characters struggling to survive in a world overrun by demons, while they search for a way to fight back
The demon cycle had potential but it had way too much sexual violence in it imo. Keep away if something like that triggers you. Spoiler: >! By the end every POV charakter has atleast been raped once .. !<
Iron Druid Chronicles - its about a young, funny guy, who also happens to have access to magic. Its set in modern day America
The Dresden Files - think of it as if harry potter had grown up, become a full wizard, opened a detective agency in Chicago and then slowly became a bit bitter and experienced. As one bad thing after another kept happening to him as he fights the creatures and bad guys
He who fights with Monsters - A guy called Jason gets transported to a world where magic is real and is given a game like system user interface to help him navigate through the new world
Any of those sound good?, oh and they are all available as audio books too
If you haven’t read the classics I’d recommend Alas Babylon and the The Postman.
Justin Cronin's The Passage trilogy.
Please post recommendation requests in /r/suggestmeabook or the weekly thread.
