Well its not really post-apocalyptic but close to it. If you like Medieval fantasy then its really good,, ts called A Meeting at Corvallis. It take place in the Collumbia Gorge area (Portland, OR) after a large flash which rendered almost all technology unusable, the people involved in the SCA (Society For Creative Anachronisms, they act out medieval fairs, feasts, etc and so have learned different trades of the time) have taken control and its basically this civilization surviving and living in this world where they have to revert to old ways of living.
Sorry, thats the closest thing Ic an think of thats Post Apocalyptic.

Thanks for the insight, while catching up on some other books, I came across "The Postman" by David Brin, it was pretty close to what I want. It's just there was a book I read as a kid in highschool. People were scavengers, and the world was overgrown and looked much like it did in "I am legend" A father and son traveled together, but you had to be a priest to go in to buildings, and touch metal, because they were the only ones able to ward off the evil spirits. That's all I can really remember about it tho.

I'm going to look for "Conspiracies" tho, and I appreciate the help.

Cat's Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut
It is apocolyptical, and is from a great frickin writer, and great, even if you don't consider it sci-fi
