There are others, namely quite a few from Margaret Atwood, but I know M. has already read them, so I'm leaving them off here.
I did a little research, so some of these I haven't read but they look interesting enough that I'm adding them to my to-read list.
Dystopian after the world has ended stuff
Maze Runner - James Dashner
Ready Player One - Ernest Cline
Divergent - Veronica Roth (I haven't read this, though people seem to like it.)
The City of Ember - Jeanne DuPrau (haven't read this either)
Blindness - Jose Saramago
Teenage girls and their problems
The Age of Miracles - Karen Walker Thompson
The Adoration of Jenna Fox - Mary Pearson (haven't read)
Prep - Curtis Sittenfeld
Conspiracies
The Submission - Amy Waldman
I really can't think of any!
Funny memoirs
Year of Living Biblically - A.J. Jacobs
Is Everyone Hanging out Without Me? - Mindy Kaling
Sort of science fictiony
Alif the Unseen - G. Willow Wilson

The Night Circus - Erin Morgenstern
The Boneshaker - Cherie Priest
Never Let Me Go - Kazuo Ishiguro
Other:
The Spellman Files (and subsequent books) - Lisa Lutz

First of all, thank you for the very complimentary description... Wow.
You are so glass half full and I love you for it!!!!!
The medley looks fantastic! I'm so excited to get started!
Thank you for putting this together.
There are also all those good classics, 1984, and Brave New World.
Ready Player One was SO fun. Very 80's and video-gamey. The Age of Miracles was wonderfully sweet and original, I think almost anyone would love that book.
Blindness still sits with me. I think it plays a part in why I am so picky in relationships. I want people to know they can count on me and I want to know who I can rely on too.
