The best ever Post Apocalypse book is written by SM Stirling, there are 2 series the first book is called Dies The Fire, and they are everything you ever wanted in a book in this genre.

It happens out of the blue, it is called "The Change" and for some reason weapons don't work anymore, electricity is non existent, The laws of physics seems to be changed, and then the dying begins.

 

Ina matter of months after the dying, men have resorted to swords, armor and bows, marauding bands of eaters(Cannibals) and animals freed from the zoos are just some of the dangers.

 

Absolutely brilliant

V for Vendetta has a post-apocalyptic feel to it. Although it's not happening in a post-apocalyptic war, the strict, radical government, the war against America, the epedemy, and all that stuff makes me think of a world rebuilding just after an apocalypse.

I haven't read the comic, but the movie really has this feel to it.

And it's really good too, both cool action scenes, great story and it really makes you think.

To answer your question about Roadside Picnic, I have found what I think is a pretty good translation of the book Roadside Picnic :biggrin:

 

 

"When you look at it, it looks like any other piece of land. The sun shines on it like on any other part of the earth. And it’s as though nothing had particularly changed in it. Like everything was the way it was thirty years ago...Only there were no people. Neither living nor dead." (Roadside Picnic)

Fredom Series, by Anne McCaffrey

Not what some would consider post apocalyptic.

McCaffrey begins a new chronicle of human resilience and survival. Earth has been invaded by the Catteni, a race of soldiers who have come to quell opposition and to relocate troublesome cases (both human and alien) to inhospitable worlds. Kristen Bjornsen, a human, and a ragtag group must learn to communicate and begin to build a new life. Further, they must discover what is behind a completely different civilization that is using their planet (nicknamed Botany) as a farm for animal and vegetable produce. Underlying this cooperation is the resentment that some of the colonists feel for Zanial, a member of the race of slavers, and the romantic feelings that Zanial and Kristen begin to feel for one another. With two possible antagonistic alien cultures and their own internal problems, there can only be more interesting scenarios for the settlers of Botany. The characters are especially well developed: teens will be able to identify with their spirit, creativeness, and tenacity to survive despite all odds. (from amazon)

 

 

Tomorrow Series by John Marsden

Not what some would consider post apocalyptic.

A group of teens is out backpacking in the australian outback for the weekend. When they return, they find their country has been taken over by another country. The teens find themselves trying to survive, and do what they can to fight back.

 

Summer of the Apocalypse by James Van Pelt

When a plague wipes out most of humanity, fifteen-year-old Eric sets out to find his father. Sixty years later, Eric starts another long journey in an America that has long since quit resembling our own, but there are shadows everywhere. Shadows of what the world once was, and shadows from Eric's past. Blood bandits, wolves, fire, feral children, and an insane militia are only a few of the problems Eric faces. Set in Denver, Colorado and the western foothills, Van Pelt's first novel is both a coming-of-age tale, and a story of an old man's search for hope in the midst of disaster. Eric's two adventures lead him through a slice of modern America and into the depths of one man's heart.

 

A Wrinkle in the Skin by John Christopher

I read this one, just can't remember the story.

 

City of Ember book series by Jeanne Duprau

Extremely Falloutesk, Though you can't tell by the movie. In the series, you learn more about why the city was built. In the second book it is based on life outside, and the people they find there.
