I've read both and they are excellent. OSA gets you thinking in a prepper mindset and The Road makes you think about long term survival knowledge.
Aside from Left Behind (couldn't get into it) any other suggestions on other similar books that are decent?
Patriot Dawn?
299 days?

I recently read The Passage (Justin Cronin) and am on the next book in the trilogy. Yeah, it is not a typical social collapse theme, more of a govt plague turns people into vampire type of monster sort of story, but the majority of the story revolves around the survivors and takes place 100 years after nearly everyone in the US is wiped out. Long book, good read.

I'm going to start up Starvation Ridge. It sounds pretty awesome.

AMERICAN APOCALYPSE BY NOVA is well worth reading...I've read the first 4 (ebooks) and they are entertaining as hell and make you think about what it might be like in a financially broken country.
"This is a fast-paced, action-packed thriller set in America at the beginning of a socioeconomic collapse. Although an innocent casualty of the chaos, one young man must discover his inner strength and defiant courage as he comes of age learning how to survive in the wasteland of failing services, unemployment, and violence. With the economy in free fall, the government crippled by indecision, the streets taken over by new political party's, and the fragile institutions of civilization crumbling, a young man finds himself homeless and alone on the outskirts of Washington, D.C., facing certain death unless he can master survival skills he never imagined needing. Fending off violent citizens in an urban landscape that is gradually sliding into looting and mayhem, the protagonist emerges as an ultimate force of justice in a lawless land. This compelling, fast-paced novel pulls readers in and lets them experience firsthand what life in the United States will be like as its teetering society begins to fall."
