I feel that books is almost a lost art. I myself am loving books right now, but not in the traditional sense. I love books on CD. Like I said before though. I fear that books are a lost art form, especially in paper form. I think that books take you to another world. They invigorate the mind. There is a lot that books can offer and I really hope books are lost in the technology that we have all around us. It is interesting to see the trend in books these days.

It deals with the aftermath of a solar storm while its occuring. It will make you think what would you do if technology fails and you just lost everything. He also has a book called Driving Towards Disaster: The Story Thus far that deals with a pandemic and a hurricane happening at once.

Great for the soul and psyche. I also love the Pam Blackwell series "Ephraim's Seed, etc) One of my all time favorites is "Alas Babylon". I too have this "bug" to prepare for difficult times whether lost of job, or TEOTAWKI. I too have shelves of manuals or skills books to improve my knowledge.

Excellent for introducing newbies to preparedness. Carla Emery's "The Encyclopedia of Country Living has tons of information. "The Dangerous Book for Boys" explains how to skin a rabbit, among other useful instructions. "Roughing It Easy" by Dian Thomas has good info Halacy's "The Solar Cooking Book" has plans for a solar cooker. Finally, check ABEBOOKS.com on the internet for used copies. It's a great source; almost all my books come from them. “Alas Babylon” is a very good read, not for information but for the stresses that TEOTWAWKI can/may cause.

I know Jayce should have a couple of those, I recall the latter being Yule gifts at one point or another. I've got about 90% of my library up on LibraryThing.com, and one of the goals this year, besides getting the other 10% in, is to finish tagging them, with Preparedness being one of the tags. Currently I've got them with survival/outdoor and so forth. One of the other benefits of LibraryThing is being able to review other people's opinions or ask them about a book before picking it up. Heinlein was very respectful of the LDS faith and goals, which is one of the reasons so many of his works, not just Farnham's Freehold, have the church mentioned, included or showcased. Tunnel in the Sky would be another good one, especially with the preparedness/survival focus. The Foxfire and Book of Buckskinning series are good ones to have as a reference source.
