By far the best is The Stand, by Stephen King. It may get a little mystical for some peoples' tastes, but if you ask me there's no better. Lucifer's Hammer by Larry Niven wasn't too bad either.

Read A Canticle for Liebowitz. It's the only book Walter M. Miller Jr. ever completed. In parts it is preachy, but very well written.

I think you mean post-apocalyptic literature.

I read Alas Babylon every few years. Add The Earth Abides to this list.

I would definitely recommend The Road.
(And, if you are interested in the post-apocalyptic sub-genre of zombies, I'd say check out World War Z for an interesting read.)

I second 'The Stand.' It's very, very long, but it's worth it. A very mature read.

The Road is excellent, but a book that I really enjoyed is The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood. She's also written another post-apocalyptic book called Oryx and Crake which was good, but I preferred The Handmaid's Tale.
Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell has a brilliant post apocalyptic story as well.
