I’ve been recommending this a lot lately: The Passage trilogy by Justin Cronin (The Passage, The Twelve, The City of Mirrors).
A U.S. government/military experiment with an ancient virus goes awry and turns into a massive catastrophe. It’s immersive with great characters, multiple POVs and timelines, solid world building, and an amazing and satisfying story arc. The last 10 or so pages of the final book had the hair on the back of my neck standing up in anticipation. It’s a 2000-page epic masterpiece.
“It happened fast. Thirty-two minutes for one world to die, another to be born.”

WORLD WAR Z – SUCH a good book.
The Hater series by David Moody is an interesting spin on things.
Dhalgren will test your limits and your patience.

Mayyyyybe Red Rising? I’m not sure if it’s classified as YA or not, it sort of straddles the line, methinks.
