nothing could be that perverse without premeditation

A Canticle for Leibowitz by Walter M Miller Jr. Humanity virtually annihilates itself via nuclear weapons and then goes through thousands of rebuilding years. This sounds really dark, and it is really dark, but also the abbots of the Order of Saint Leibowitz are very funny. I see why a lot of people have profound feeling about this novel.

Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman. I saw a couple of recommendations for this series on tumblr and it is indeed extremely fun! Aliens mine the Earth and send millions of people--including Carl and his cat Princess Donut--into what is essentially a Twitch live-streamed video game where they have to survive to escape. I'm not much of a video game person but it's still an accessible read.

Carl's Doomsday Scenario by Matt Dinniman. Continued adventures of Carl and Princess Donut! These books are 400 to 900 page bricks yet I am burning through them. Next!

I love A Canticle for Leibowitz so much! I read it for the first time earlier this year and it immediately established itself as a favorite.

It was good! I think I may have picked it up off of your recommendation if you posted about it lol. I saw it from someone on my f-list and I was like oh interest piqued :)
