My personal favorites, in no particular order are:
The Stand by Stephen King
The Passage by Justin Cronin
I Am Legend by Richard Matheson
World War Z by Max Brooks
Earth Abides by George R. Stewart
Swan Song by Robert McCammon
The Road by Cormac McCarthy
There are others that I can't recall right now, but those stuck with me. I am also a fan of "The Walking Dead", which is an epic comic book series dealing with zombies, but it has a lot of depth and character development.
Thanks for the welcome! Still waiting on my Kindle 3, but having to "suffer" through reading with the Sony Reader PRS-505 has been a pleasure for a few years now, so I guess I can finish a few more books while I wait.
