Two more of my favorites in the "end of the work" catagory:

'Earth Abides' by George Stewart.  This is a novel from (I believe) the
50's.  The basic plotline involves a disease that does nasty things to
most of the people in the US.  This is one of the earlier novels I've
read in the sub-genre; well worth reading.

Another novel you might enjoy is a little farther out: 'A Canticle for
Leibowitz' by Walter M Miller Jr.  This 1959 novel is set in the future
long after a nuclear war.  It's a curious blend of religion and how
civilization rebuilds itself.  It follows a monsastic order that
dedicates itself to preserving information from the long dead
civilization that occured before the war.   One of my all-time favorite
sf books.
