+1 for Earth Abides and Lucifer's Hammer.
Don't forget The Stand. Typical Stephen King mystical mumbo jumbo but a well written account of what the collapse of civilization might look like for those left behind.
There's an Orson Scott Card book called "Folk of the Fringe." It's not a single novel, rather it is a set of interconnected stories with a common set of characters that tells what happens to the Mormon survivors of an apocalypse as they reestablish a kind of civilization - albeit Mormon civilization - in the American West. The first story in the series is called "West" and it's one of my all time favorite short stories.
Interesting aspect is if you are expecting Mormon "propaganda" you would be surprised. He's actually rather hard on the Mormon church although it is obviously written from a sympathetic viewpoint.
