Oh and “Parable of the Sower” and “Tale of the Unnamed Midwife.”

The audiobook of “World War Z” is one of the best audiobooks I have ever listened to.

The Passage - it's a trilogy. There's also one season of a show that was done with Mark Paul Gosselaar and I enjoyed it - he was great and it was interesting to see the creatures live.

Alas Babylon by Pat Frank

This was recently recommended by the NYT

“One of the early post-nuclear apocalypse tales, Frank’s Cold War novel follows a small Florida town that miraculously survives a nuclear holocaust that destroys much of the United States. Cut off from the world, which is in the throes of a continuing war between the U.S. and the Soviet Union, the town’s residents struggle to retain social order as they find their way”
