all of those (I have Malevile in English) plus I would also add Earth Abides
I had an old paperback of Earth Abides, and read it so many times. Sadly, it fell apart, and is no longer with me. Had to comment because I hadn't ever seen anyone mention it. Great book.
Since "Going Home" was such a great read, I just picked up "Surviving Home" By. A. American. I hope this sequal is good as the first book. gonna reading next weekend when I go camping.
Exact same story here, except I'll read it at home...
Jerry D. Young writes books about prepping and post-apocalypse situations. They are kindle books and cost around 99¢ and up. I really enjoy them. They are not long and are well written. He's done his homework and it is reflected in his books.
Also, Cheryl Cholley is writing a kindle series, Survivalist by Circumstance. I love her books. They are rather short episodes but she sticks with the same families and the reader really gets to know the characters well.

+1 on Earth Abides. Sounds like a lot of us have very similar tastes.
Probably should throw the Day of the Triffids and Farnham's Freehold into the mix.
Saw a mention of Jerry D. Young. I compared his favorite book list to mine one time and they were really close. Only guy I ever ran in to that had read An Elephant for Aristotle.

I just read Cyberstorm by Matthew Mather (it was $2.99 on Amazon for Kindle) and it was a really good read. Actually got me into wanting to increase my prep supplies.
Robert Heinlens "Tunnel in the Sky" dealt specifically with survival and preparedness. Where every young adult had to do "time in the wilderness" as a rite of passage.
I found the experienced survivors advice to the kids NOT to take guns as part of their gear to be well thought out.
The Foxfire series of books originally brought out in the 1970's and reprinted today. Very good reading and you can learn a lot about survival.
