[quote=Anonymous]Z for Zachariah by Robert O'Brien -- recently made into a movie.  
Teenage girl survives on her family farm after a nuclear holocaust and thinks she's the only person left alive -- but then she sees a campfire.

Patrick Ness's trilogy -- pretty hard going but worth it -- The Knife of Never Letting Go; The Ask and the Answer; Monsters and Men. 
Set in a world of men (no boys, no girls/women), all of whom who can hear one another's thoughts -- the last teenage boy runs away from his town and runs into a strange creature -- a girl.

Life As We Knew It (four books in the series, I think) - Susan Beth Pfeffer. 
Teenage girl survives with her family when the moon is knocked closer to earth and the earth grows colder and colder

Ready Player One by Ernest Cline -- a really fun book set in a dystopian future, about a teenage boy who loves 80's pop culture, especially John Hughes movies, and gets the chance to play an immersive video game set in the movies for a grand prize.

City of Ember by Jeanne Duprau

The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood. Very moving feminist novel. Ambiguous ending.

The Children of Men by PD James -- also a great movie.

The Passage by Justin Cronin-- couldn't put this down, very thrilling.

Beggars in Spain by Nancy Kress.

The Company Novels by Kage Baker -- these are wonderful fun, time travel from a dystopian (vegan) future back and forth to the present and far, far past (think dinosaurs).

Those should keep you busy!  :)
