Here are a few off the top of my head. Maybe more detail later when I've refreshed my memory.
A couple of recent reads:
After the Fall, Before the Fall, During the Fall - Nancy Kress. The nature of the Fall itself is kind of part of the story (and not all that satisfying, I thought). The bulk of the story is about the last remnants of humanity going back in time to kidnap children. Won the nebula for best novella, and was nominated for a hugo in the same category. I kind of liked it.
Where Late the Sweet Birds Sang - Kate Wilhelm. Hugo winner from the late 70s. Eco-catastrophe where things just stop being able to reproduce. Interesting, but didn't blow me away.
A couple of older books I can't remember so well:
Day of the Triffids - John Wyndham. Pretty well-known. Deadly alien(?) plants on the loose, and mass blindness. I think The Chrysalids is also post-apocalyptic, and that was one of my favourites for a long time.
Engine Summer - John Crowley. I can't remember a whole lot about this one except that I really liked it. I think it's post-nuclear.
I guess there's also Wool. I suspect you're aware of that one.
