Looking for End of World/ post apocalyptic books

[geordie9]

Looking for some good recommendations. Nuclear war, virus, oil/food wars, zombies (although ive read most of them), etc. Ive read The Stand, Justin Cronins Passage & The Twelve. I want to read Robert Mcammons Swan Song, any one here read it and is it worth buying? Any help would be appreciated.

These threads on dystopian novels and help needed with dystopian titles might help

Thanks Claire, I was having trouble finding them. I think those threads should also be in this section, but I don't want to move them and affect the links.

Thanks i'll have a look. I didnt see that thread anywhere

It's an old book but probably the best I've ever read: War Day by Whitley Strieber and James Kunteka: http://www.amazon.com/Warday-Whitley-Strieber/dp/0446326305/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1380888564&sr=8-1&keywords=warday

I'm going to recommend Jam by Yahtzee Croshaw. In this book, the world is suddenly covered in many layers of jam. It's written in a funny note, so if you're in the mood for something serious this might not be your thing. But I think when you're in the mood for it, it's a great book, in my opinion.

Swan Song is quite good, but I kept comparing to The Stand as a lot of plot points were similar. Still worth a read though.

Ok, that sounds so bizarre I just had to add it to my wishlist.

It is bizarre! I really liked it though .
