Hmmm, Apocalyptic/ Post-Apocalyptic stories are not my cup of tea, but here are some good ones I've read:

Kim Stanley Robinsons Science in the Capital trilogy - consists of Forty Signs of Rain, Fifty Degrees Below, and Sixty Days and Counting. Global warming & environmental disaster.

The Drowned World by J.G. Ballard - An old classic, also global warnig. Post-Apocalyptic.

Good Omens by Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett - The lighter side of the biblical Apocalypse & the Antichrist. Hilarious.

Lucifer's Hammer by Larry Niven - The original Deep Impact/ Armageddon story.

I Am Legend by Richard Matheson - Very different to the movie.

Damnation Alley by Roger Zelazny - Post nuclear + plague.

Cormac McCarthy's The Road & Walter M. Miller, Jr.'s A Canticle for Leibowitz are both post-nuke holocaust books & are both very literary, so they're very demanding reads.

There's a long list here, but titles vary wildly by quality.
