    Pick as many as you want but try to give us a ranking. (Remember....Enjoyable to read is the key!...Doesn't have to be meaningful....Just a book you hated to finish)

    Earth Abides.

    Had to read it in college, and it is such an incredible story that I've re-read it probably ten times since then.

    Earth Abides is a 1949 post-apocalyptic science fiction novel by American writer George R. Stewart. It tells the story of the fall of civilization from deadly disease and its rebirth. Beginning in the United States in the 1940s, it deals with Isherwood "Ish" Williams, Emma, and the community they founded. The survivors live off the remains of the old world, while learning to adapt to the new. Along the way they are forced to make tough decisions and choose what kind of civilization they will rebuild.

    Earth Abides won the inaugural International Fantasy Award in 1951. It was included in Locus Magazine's list of best All Time Science Fiction in 1987 and 1998 and was a nominee to be entered into the Prometheus Hall Of Fame. --Wiki
